Beer tasting, a Titanic exhibition and half-term fun

Tickets for this blockbuster have JUST gone on sale.

Book a blockbuster Titanic exhibition like no other — now!

The ultimate Titanic exhibition lands in London this summer — and tickets have JUST gone on sale.

The Legend of the Titanic: The Immersive Exhibition is on almost as grand a scale as the iconic ship herself, using cutting edge technology to tastefully bring its story to life in a totally new way. There are 13 rooms to explore (you’ll want to block out about two hours in order to see it all), featuring stunning 360° projections, VR and metaverse wizardry, incredible artefacts and replicas, and much more besides. All of it aims to honour the historical significance and emotional resonance of the Titanic.

Highlights include a moving virtual reality tribute to the Titanic’s musicians, a 5D augmented reality metaverse experience showcasing the ship’s decks in breathtaking detail, and an interactive kids activity room where children can create content which will feature in the exhibition itself. From genteel first-class cabins to gritty below-deck realities, this exhibition recreates it all — it’s even got its own Café Parisien, so you can refuel on tea and pastries in elegant surroundings.

The Legend of the Titanic: The Immersive Exhibition opens at Dock X on 25 July (right on time for the summer holidays), but we recommend snapping up tickets sharpish to avoid disappointment. This exhibition comes from the same producers as the hugely popular Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition and has already captivated 300,000 visitors since its inaugural launch in Madrid last September.
