Chat Noir! is the latest immersive dining experience from The Lost Estate, and transports guests back to Montmartre’s infamous Le Chat Noir club, the birthplace of modern cabaret and a notorious watering hole for Paris' fledgling bohemian artists and writers, for an evening of art, absinthe and anarchy through a combination of live performance, fine dining and immersive elements.

David Bowie: You're Not Alone is the latest immersive projection show to debut at Lightroom's flagship venue in King's Cross. Tracing the life of the ever-evolving performer, the hour-long show, made up of archived interviews, photography, sketches and live performances, is projected onto the 11-metre-high walls and floor of Lightroom's cavernous venue and offers visitors a large-scale, yet intimate, look into why David Bowie is still regarded as one of the greatest artists o

A Morte do Corvo, Lisbon’s grand necromantic immersive show, died last month after an impressive three-year run. The cause of death in this case was entirely natural: after several extensions, the production finally announced that the end was nigh.

Enigma Quest's Escape Arcade is a competitive escape-room style experience located near Chancery Lane for teams of up to 4 players. Within it, groups have 60 minutes to earn as many points as possible across a number of the experience's 30 different 'simulation' rooms. While it's similar in design to Prison Island, with both experiences offering players the freedom to choose which rooms to tackle in any order they like and the ability to replay rooms if they choose, the two e

The life of Cleopatra VII, the final ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, has been mythologised and misrepresented more than most. She was said to be an astute leader who helped Egypt prosper during her reign, yet the narratives surrounding her in the aftermath of her death - largely at the hands of the Romans - recast her as something of a self-serving femme fatale willing to do anything to secure power. Our review of Cleopatra: The Experience at Immerse LDN.

Following in the footsteps of the much-loved Crystal Maze Live Experience, which heralded the beginning of the UK's competitive gaming craze, Prison Island is London's latest interactive escape-room-style experience to focus on providing not only a huge variety of different challenges but a huge number of them too.

Boom Lab is an immersive gaming experience based in Shoreditch for groups of 2-8 people. Part arcade, part escape room, the 75-minute-long experience consists of six interactive challenges that test everything from your reaction times and communication skills to your balance and dexterity.

The Last Stronghold: An Epic Medieval Adventure is the latest immersive VR production from French producer Excurio. Running alongside Machu Picchu: Journey To The Lost City inside the W12 Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush, the 45-minute-long experience allows guests to explore a virtual recreation of 14th-century Carcassonne alongside Simon de l’Estang, a young noble who travels to the city to help defend it under the guidance of his Uncle, Geoffroy de Varenne.

As part of Barbican's Scene Change season, Landmark Productions and Octopus Theatricals' Theatre for One has arrived in the UK for the first time. Taking over a space within the lobby of the Barbican Centre, this free-to-attend experience does exactly what it says on the tin, offering up a five-minute-long play for one audience member at a time on a first-come, first-served basis.

Over a thousand years on from the Viking age, Vikings: The Immersive Experience, a new immersive exhibition detailing the story of Queen Kraka, King Ragnar Lodbrok and their sons, has arrived at Dock X in Canada Water, fresh off a successful debut in Hamburg. The exhibition combines 360-degree immersive projections with virtual reality, and interactive elements alongside more traditional displays of replicas and a detailed audio guide.

Have you ever wanted to spend eight hours in a basement watching a mysterious young man perform increasingly desperate rituals in a fruitless attempt to receive a blessing for a murder he already knows he must commit? I think most people would say no. Even to me, an admittedly slightly obsessive immersive theatre fan, seeing the entire show seemed ridiculous. Eight hours following one actor who never takes a break sounds dangerously close to performance art.

With over 3.5 million visitors having already attended in Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Belgium, Mundo Pixar has now arrived in the UK. Set within a custom-built venue a stone's throw from Wembley Stadium, the self-guided walkthrough exhibition contains 13 immersive sets depicting scenes from classic Pixar movies and includes over 25 life-sized sculptures, with fan favourites like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Dory, and Nemo all featured.

With The Great Undoing, Phantom Peak offers up a conclusion to its time in Canada Water that stands comfortably alongside the show's strongest seasons. It's no secret that the show's approach to storytelling has always been ambitious and self-assured, with it constantly reinventing itself season after season, but to see the show's writing team bring three-and-a-half years' worth of stories to a conclusion with such confidence still feels miraculous.

As part of 2026's From Home Fest, and fresh off the back of winning an IndieCade award, cirqueSaw's rat-focused production labRats returns following previous work-in-progress performances across 2024 and 2025. In this browser-based remote performance, audience members take on the role of numbered laboratory rats and complete a series of cognitive tests to both earn treats and avoid 'the zappies'

In Dante or Die's I Do, which first debuted in 2013 and returns now as part of the company's 20th anniversary year, the inherent drama and chaos of a wedding day is dialled up to an extreme, and offers audiences the chance to voyeuristically look on at the unfolding chaos surrounding the soon-to-be-wedded Georgina (Carla Langley) and Tunde (Dauda Ladejobi).

Fireside Tales, the latest immersive production from Punchdrunk Enrichment, is a love letter to the power of storytelling, our imaginations, and the importance of community. It's also utterly magical, for children and parents alike.
