Fawlty Towers Weekend

The Holiday Inn Brighton on the seafront is preparing for a Fawlty Towers Weekend on 4 April 2026. This isn't just a standard tribute act; it’s an immersive comedy experience where the hotel environment is used to recreate the atmosphere of the classic sitcom. Throughout the stay, guests interact directly with Basil, Sybil, and Manuel in a setting that mirrors the show's chaotic energy. It’s aimed at fans of the original series and groups looking for a mix of theatre and dining, focusing on the awkward and frantic humour the show is known for. The event takes place in the hotel's dedicated function suites, providing a self-contained space for the performance to unfold.

The itinerary begins on Saturday afternoon with check-in at 14:00, where the cast members are involved in the arrival process, often setting the tone for the rest of the stay. By 16:00, the Fawlty Towers team assists with serving afternoon tea, providing an early chance to see the character dynamics in action before the evening begins. The centerpiece of the weekend is the three-course dinner show, which starts between 19:30 and 20:00. During the meal, the actors perform various sketches, including the famous storylines about the health inspectors and the German guests. After the dinner show concludes, the evening transitions into a disco that continues until midnight, allowing guests to stay in the function area.

The experience wraps up on Sunday morning with a full English breakfast, followed by a final farewell from the characters in what is described as a typical Fawlty style. For those interested in the logistics, there are different pricing tiers available depending on whether you want to stay overnight. A ticket for just the dinner show is priced at £59.50. For those wanting the full weekend experience with accommodation, the package is £205.00 for a single guest or £290.00 for two people sharing a double or twin room. The Holiday Inn Brighton is located at 137 Kings Road, BN1 2JF, which is a familiar landmark on the seafront for locals and regular visitors to the city.
