Seasonal sketch comedy dinner show inspired by Fawlty Towers, with afternoon tea, a three-course comedy dinner and a night-time disco at the Holiday Inn.
Fawlty Towers Christmas Weekend takes over the Holiday Inn Reading - West by IHG on Saturday 21 November, running through to Sunday 22 November. It's a seasonal sketch comedy that brings Basil, Sybil and Manuel to life on stage, with the cast taking over the hotel and checking guests into their rooms. The whole weekend is run as a house party set within the Fawlty Towers universe, so the characters are around the building rather than just on a stage.
If you're staying over, the programme fills the gap between check-in and check-out. It starts with afternoon tea at 4.00pm on Saturday, followed by the Fawlty Towers comedy dinner show in the evening, which pairs the performance with a three-course meal and a night-time disco. On Sunday morning, there's a full English breakfast before you head off. The show itself is inspired by the television series and leans on its farcical comedy for the festive hotel takeover.
