What would you do if Martians invaded London? Picture the scene: you've been blasted through time and landed in late Victorian London. A Martian Fighting Machine appears over Big Ben and fires its savage, unearthly Heat Ray. And all you know explodes into a raging inferno.
This is Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience — a multisensory adventure that blends live performance, virtual reality and spectacular effects that promises to be unlike anything you've experienced before. Travel across a full kilometre of physical sets — starting with an incredible steampunk bar that serves themed cocktails and steampunk pizza — as a cast of 17 characters guides you through this totally unique experience, which reopens in March 2021.

"DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, BOOK IT!!! You are not watching it, you are in it! I have been to many West-end shows, but this is not a show, it's just an awesome experience!!"
— Janet Herts
"Within the walls of this experience I fled from Martians, sailed gently in a boat which was then hurled around on the Thames as the Houses of Parliament were blown to smithereens and splashed down around us... and ended up going up into a hot air balloon!" — Jane-Louise
"No one would've believed how good this is. Without a doubt the most unusual, uncategorised, daring concept open to the public." — Austen Driscoll

"You feel as though you've been transported into an alternate reality. The sounds, the smells, the lighting, the vibrations, the actors, the visuals.. ! I clung onto my friend's hand as my heart raced! Soooo much fun!" — Anna Bosewell
