Great experience, lots of fun and the workshop is entertaining/educational. Highly recommended, good value for money.

Really interesting immersive experience! You get given an audio set, drink token, and mystery vial on arrival. It takes around an hour to walk through, you can go at your own pace, very interesting if you take the time to listen to the audio sets. The bar at the end is where you redeem the drink token, unfortunately pornstar martini’s were on tap so wish I picked a cocktail that was made fresh. The cocktail workshop at the end was very fun, we made two cocktails - pornstar martini and a lime based one (can’t remember the name!). Our teacher was insightful, experienced and made it fun. Definitely worth adding it onto the experience!
