Dinosaurs, Pride and a Labyrinth under Waterloo station

Immersive theatre and experiences news for London and the UK

22 June 2022

Alice’s Adventures Underground is reopening in brand new venue Labyrinth

Not just one but TWO massive pieces of news:

  1. Alice’s Adventures Underground, the five star, ridiculously popular, Olivier-nominated immersive theatre show, is coming back to London. If you missed it the first time round (I did) then this is your chance.

  2. It’s coming back to a brand new venue Labyrinth opened by the show’s creators Les Enfants Terrible which is (appropriately) situated underneath Waterloo station. Labyrinth will not just house immersive theatre shows but also restaurant Rosarium and cocktail bar Underland both of which sound super theatrical including ‘curious cocktails served as a performative experience’.

Alice’s Adventures Underground will be on at Labyrinth from 15 November. Priority booking opens on 24th July and you can sign up here to be the first to know.

Dino-lovers unite! Jurassic Park (or the closest thing we can get to it until technology catches up) is coming to London!

‘Get up-close and personal with life-size dinosaurs as you walk through the world-famous Jurassic World gates, step behind the glass into The Creation Lab and imagine what it would have been like to walk among the breathtaking animals’

Also sorry I lied they haven’t really been in Canary Wharf, I just like the idea of them wearing little corporate suits…

Jurassic World: The Exhibition will be on at the ExCel London (nearest station Custom House) from 25th August. Tickets start from £15 and will be on sale from 23 June from here.

Relive the first ever UK Gay Pride at Greater Manchester Fringe

The first-ever UK national Gay Pride event was on 4 July 1981 when thousands marched in the streets of Huddersfield.

To mark the 41st anniversary, award-winning playwrights Stephen M. Hornby, Abi Hynes, Peter Scott-Presland and Hayden Sugden are staging an immersive new drama that will reenact the original event:

‘Prepare your protest and get ready to shout “2,4,6,8, is that copper really straight?!” as a series of stories unfold based on the people who attended and the unique events of the day, stories of love, political activism and friendship. Relive this forgotten moment in history, the day when the world came to Huddersfield.’

The Day the World Came to Huddersfield will play 1 and 3 July as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe. Tickets are £10 and available here
