Hypertrax Arena is a unique experience that's fast, fun, filled with laughter all on electric vehicles. Trust us when we say fast these ziesels machines can power along at speeds of up to 22mph. When you're sat in the seat driving only by joystick, it will feel so much faster.

Merlin's are the UK's Premier Magic and Illusion supplier, in my opinion. Mark and Phil's knowledge and insight into every kind of magic trick you can think of is second to none and encourages / inspires would-be and established magicians alike. I always head to Merlin's first when I need / want a new magic trick!

Where do I start..? The whole experience was simply amazing! Hubby arranged for the two of us to visit under the Afternoon Tea for Two package as a birthday treat and it was just bliss. Sam is friendly, attentive and makes you feel so welcomed and relaxed. The hydro therapy hot tub was a great start to a a thoroughly enjoyable time. The lovingly decorated cabin with everything you could possibly need, followed by the most chilled out aromatherapy massage was just what we both needed. Nothing was too much for Sam, and every detail has been well thought out and taken care of. The afternoon tea itself was delicious and knowing everything was homemade made for a perfect end to a great day. Thank you very much, Sam :) We'll definitely be back again!

Our first escape room and didn’t know what to expect. My wife loves puzzles but hates dark, scary rooms, the unexpected and frights! She was very apprehensive before we started but absolutely loved it once we figured it out and got into solving the puzzles and escaping. We both really enjoyed it and yes it is scary and frightening. We completed with 13 seconds to spare - £40 for 2 people, excellent value.

Visited here 'mad friday' with husband atmosphere was fab, service was great as always from this venue. Customers chatty and enjoying the after work drinks was really good mix of ages/groups. Must thank the fantastic layla who rescued me when me top needed a quick repair, she then went on to mending another customers belt! Not the service everywhere in wakefield offers! Altogether great bar and the best staff

My fiancee and I experienced the titanic themed escape room today and loved every second of our time there. The host was incredible and really set the scene perfectly before we entered the room. The room itself was superb, filled with amazing and challenging, without being impossible, puzzles. The host was always on hand to offer subtle hints if needed without making us feel like we hadn't accomplished anything. Escapable would be perfect for both regulars and newcomers to the escape room experience. I cannot recommend it enough and can't wait to go back and try the next rooms when they become available.
