This winter marks the final opportunity to experience the original award-winning production before it undergoes a major transformation in Spring 2026.

Face a 300-foot Martian Fighting Machine, sneak into a deserted Victorian house, sail out to sea and witness the battle between the Martians and HMS Thunder Child, and fly to Mars in a hot air balloon.

Experience a world beyond your own, and get ready to discover your greatest adventure yet with Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience!

The 360° Virtual Reality creates spectacular experiences as you journey through 24 interactive scenes, propelled with 12 live actors in full character, live action, multisensory effects and virtual reality.

Digital cast includes Tom Brittney (Grantchester, ITV) as The Journalist, George Herbert with Anna-Marie Wayne (The War of the Worlds Alive on Stage!) as his fiancé Carrie. West End’s Carrie Hope Fletcher portrays Beth and David Burnett (Victoria, ITV) is Parson Nathaniel.

Your experience will last 1hr and 50 minutes, including a 20-minute interval in the Red Weed Bar. On arrival at the venue you'll enter the steampunk themed The Spirit of Man Bar and Restaurant, and sit under the tentacles of a giant green-eyed, smoke-shooting Martian Fighting Machine.

Here, you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy Martian-themed cocktails before and after your experience.
