Announcing Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience

On 16 October, step inside the iconic Fawlty Towers for a night of interactive comedy and chaos all served with a delicious 3-course meal

Celebrating 50 years of Fawlty Towers, the legendary Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is set to bring its unique brand of immersive comedy to Rotorua this October. Hailed as a “fresh comic invention” by the British Comedy Guide, this critically acclaimed production continues to be the longest-running and most celebrated stage adaptation of the beloved British sitcom.

Step into the world of Basil, Sybil and Manuel as they serve up a night of comedy, chaos and culinary mishaps at the Sir Howard Morrison Centre. Fully immersive, highly interactive, and with 70% of the show improvised, no two performances are ever the same. Expect two hours of unpredictable fun, a delicious three-course 70s-inspired meal, and wall-to-wall laughter.

Created by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, the show debuted in 1997 at Brisbane’s Rydges Hotel. Since then, it has performed in 43 countries, been seen by over one million guests, and become one of Australia's greatest theatrical exports (Glam Adelaide). Its London debut in 2009 led to a decade-long West End residency, with the current run continuing at the President Hotel in Bloomsbury.

Over the years, it has played more than 1,000 venues worldwide, entertained audiences across the UK with around 400 shows annually, and even delighted celebrities such as Andrew Sachs, John McEnroe and Joe Cole. Now celebrating over 25 years on stage, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is as popular as ever.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this hilarious, one-of-a-kind theatrical experience. Accept no imitations – secure your seat for an unforgettable night of mayhem, mischief and mouth-watering moments.
