Faulty Towers The Dining Experience

Fawlty Towers is heading to the Mercure Northampton this February for a strictly limited run, bringing one of the world’s most successful immersive comedy experiences to the heart of the town.

From Monday 17th to Saturday 22nd February 2026, Basil, Sybil and Manuel will be taking over the Mercure Northampton for Faulty Towers The Dining Experience, promising an evening of mayhem, miscommunication and unforgettable laughter.

Based on the iconic BBC television series, this is not a stage show you sit back and watch. Instead, audiences are invited to step straight into the world of Torquay’s most infamous hotel and become part of the action themselves. As you enjoy a delicious three-course, 1970s-style meal, chaos unfolds around you, with Basil attempting to maintain control, Sybil laying down the law, and Manuel doing his very best to understand what on earth is going on. Just one word of advice – whatever you do, don’t order a Waldorf salad.

Since first launching in 1997, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience has grown into a global phenomenon. It is the original dining experience inspired by the show and is now the longest-running Fawlty Towers production of any kind anywhere in the world. Over the past 28 years, it has toured 43 countries, welcomed well over one million guests, and earned a reputation as one of Australia’s greatest theatre exports.

What makes this production truly special is its highly improvised and interactive nature. No two performances are ever the same, as the cast respond to the audience in real time, pulling guests into the story and making them honorary residents of the hotel for the night. It has been described as “theatre at its startling best” and is widely praised for its energy, originality and sheer comedic brilliance.

Running for two straight hours, the show guarantees side-splitting laughter from start to finish. It regularly sells out wherever it goes, and with only six nights in Northampton, demand is expected to be high. This is a rare chance to experience one of the most sought-after comedy dining events in the world, right on your doorstep.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience runs from 17th to 22nd February 2026 at the Mercure Northampton. More details at faultytowersdining.com.
