A hit Fawlty Towers dining experience returns to Manchester for a festive special

A multi-award-winning dining experience based on the iconic Fawlty Towers is back in Manchester this month.

Following sell-out seasons across the UK and internationally, the immersive phenomenon returns to the city centre voco hotel from Tue 16 Dec – Sun 21 Dec.

Diners will be invited to enjoy a ‘quintessentially British experience’ as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve up two hours of theatre, chaos and a 70s-style three-course meal set against the backdrop of Britain’s most infamous hotel restaurant.

For this latest Manchester run, the cast will feature Aaron Millard as ‘Basil’, Rebecca Norris as ‘Sybil’, and Simon Hourihan as ‘Manuel’.

Producer Jared Harford said, “It’s such a joy to be bringing Basil and the team back to Manchester. After such an incredible 2025 celebrating 50 years of Fawlty Towers, we can’t wait to continue sharing the laughter, chaos and community spirit that make this show so special.”

Devised by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Andrew Foreman and others, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience debuted back in 2008. Since then, it has appeared in 43 countries and welcomed more than one million guests.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, doors open at 6:45pm, with seating and the show beginning at 7:30pm. On Sunday, doors open at 12:45pm, with seating and the show beginning at 1:30pm. Tickets are priced at £67.50 per person with booking fees, and include a three-course meal and the full two-hour immersive experience. Book your spot using the button below.
