We were very disappointed as this booking we had for this venue, made several weeks ahead of the date we expected to go was cancelled with very little notice. We had been looking forward to it and due to our schedule and the short notice couldn’t book a different day.

You really felt you were back in 1605 and all the "actors" played their parts well. We found the VR a bit hit and miss as it was buffering and you didn't really have enough time to adjust the headsets. All in all a Good Experience.
