This globetrotting show is truly quite legendary, selling out in places like Edinburgh Fringe, Raffles Singapore and Sydney Opera House. It returns to the Floral Pavilion in 2017, but be warned: it’ll sell out here too, so early booking is essential! When the audience become diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant and are served by Basil, Sybil and Manuel, pretty much anything can happen - especially with two-thirds of the show improvised. The fun starts as guests wait to be seated, then hurtles along in a tour de force of gags, shambolic service and a ‘70s-style 3-course meal.
Expect the unexpected in this ‘two-hour eat, drink and laugh sensation!’ (DAILY TELEGRAPH). Born in 1997, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a fully immersive, highly improvised and site-specific piece of comedy theatre that continues to be acclaimed around the world by audiences and critics alike. It opened a residency in London’s West End in 2012 and holds TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, ranking consistently high in their top London theatre listings. Ten teams of cast now tour the world virtually non-stop. EXPERIENCE THE EXPERIENCE!
