Immersive interactive dining comedy in which characters from the show serve a retro 1970s three-course meal with improvised service.
Faulty Towers the Dining Experience comes to the Mercure Milton Keynes Hotel on Wednesday 26 May 2027, bringing Basil, Manuel and Sybil to the city for a night that's as much about the service as it is about the food. It's an immersive comedy dinner, which means you're not just sitting and watching a show on a stage — you're part of it. The characters from the show serve you a retro 1970s three-course meal, and the 'faulty' part of the title is exactly what you're paying for: the service is intentionally terrible, and the chaos happens right at your table.
What sets this apart from a scripted play is how much is made up on the fly. About 70% of the performance is improvised, so the actors react to the room and the people in it rather than sticking to a set script. Because of that, no two nights are the same — you'll never see the same show twice, and the evening will change depending on who's sitting around you. It's fully immersive and highly interactive, so expect to be drawn into the madness rather than just watching it from the sidelines.
The whole thing is produced by Interactive Theatre International, and they describe it as a critically acclaimed smash hit, with critics calling it 'comedy at its finest'. It runs for two hours, and the meal is a three-course retro 1970s affair, so you'll be eating while the chaos unfolds around you. It's a proper night out rather than a quick bite, and the comedy is the main event.
