This was a birthday treat for my wife that unfortunately got postponed due to the pandemic. There was a bit of a mix up (mostly my fault) with the rearranged appointment. They were very accommodating in fitting us in when it suited us. The silversmith intro course was great fun. Leah was very knowledgable and informative. She explained what we did very clearly and we learnt a lot about the background to the silversmith craft. We had a great time and I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience.

Visiting family for a night out and we were taken here. Every rum you can imagine. Staff behind the bar were brilliant and remembered what we were drinking and even recommended a rum that was better than the one I would usually drink. Next time we are in Folkestone we will try and pop in here again for a few drinks. Definitely recommend especially if you like rum. I even turned my other half into a rum drinker ????

Locked In is an exciting and challenging escape room experience based in the center of Folkestone. We have 2 fully immersive themed rooms to entertain, intrigue and thrill you, your friends, family or colleagues.

I visited both escape rooms last Friday night with a large group of work colleagues, we split into two teams, did one room each and swapped rooms upon escape. Jamie (the host / owner) could not be more welcoming, he made sure we all had a great time and was a delight throughout. You can have from 2-8 people in each room, maximum occupancy lowers the price per person. 'Aslyum' I would say makes use of slightly more practical problem solving skills when compared with 'Bunker', which uses a touch more theory to escape. Each theme has clearly been meticulously thought out with puzzles, challenges and engaging stories to ensure a rewarding release. I'd highly recommend 'Locked In' to all groups; couples, families, colleagues, friends etc. It's really easy to get to with loads of great local bars and restaurants in walking distance, a top night out. Book now, you won't regret it!
10. Kent Battle of Britain Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 701 reviews
Reviewed By Mumsynanna - Surrey, United Kingdom
Took my wife, daughter and grandchildren and we all had a most interesting time. There is an incredible amount of items on display, and the layout means you are discovering something new around the each section without being overwhelmed with exhibits. The whole experience is well balanced from both RAF and German perspective's and gives an enthralling insight into the lives of those that took part in the Battle of Britain. The volunteers running the museum were very friendly, and only too ready to help. The no photo rule is not a problem, and should not discourage anyone from visiting the museum. Leave your camera in the car, and immerse yourself with the exhibits on display. When leaving, we collected our cameras, and we had our photos taken with the Hurricanes outside by the volunteers. I highly recommend a visit to this museum, and look forward to returning in next year when it re-opens.
