DRINK & PLAY: The Hunt for The Smoking Caterpillar - Comedy escape room + immersive theatre experience

@ Ninth Life on Saturday 4th May 2024

Ditch the 2024 Christmas panto in London in favour of something a little quirkier... The Hunt For The Smoking Caterpillar will immerse you in a twisted re-telling of Lewis Carroll's classic, with bonkers storylines and hilarious actors adding to thrill of it all. 

Mr Fogg's Victorian Murder Mystery

@ Mr Fogg's Residence on Sunday 21st April 2024 and 10 other Sundays

One of Phileas J. Fogg's friends has been murdered and it's your job to find out who did it, along with the reopened Bank of England robbery case, with tickets to Mr Fogg's Victorian Murder Mystery. Starting from £60 per person, enjoy two complimentary cocktails and piece together the clues. Attend on a Sunday in December for an exclusive Christmas special.

The Rosemary Branch Theatre

Get your fix at Islington's well-loved Rosemary Branch pub. Enjoy their tasty food and drink, before heading to a range of shows in their award-winning theatre upstairs. This season even includes a top pick of family Christmas shows in London for 2024 - the adventurous Desperately Seeking Santa.
