I have done a few of these now at Incarcerated and did the Tortured Soul puzzle room today; really good story line and quite tricky puzzles. Also had genuine scares and a creepy and tense atmosphere! It was a big shame we couldn’t escape but the first puzzle we came across took us a bit of time to understand, but at least we made it to the final puzzle! It is a really great way to spend an evening with friends, I can imagine it would be fun as a team building activity with work colleagues as well. The price has gone up since the first one I did at Incarcerated back in 2016 but then I do think the quality of the room has improved with lights and sounds to add to the whole experience. Great fun and thanks guys for giving me an actual fright which doesn’t often happen!

My and my now fiancé played the Sub Terra room and Alex the owner helped me to integrate my proposal into the game, it was absolutely amazing and such a special moment, I truly commend the above and beyond work that Alex went through to make this extremely special for both me and my future wife. The room itself was brilliant, all the puzzles were so interesting and very well thought out, we truly felt fully immersed in the room which made the time in there even more enjoyable. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Pottery studio with art gallery, and cafe where you can join a drop in session or book for pot throwing or ceramic experience days, classes or workshops.

We stumbled upon Eastcott Studios when we popped out for coffee and art at The Total Health Cafe, the owners told us about the pottery "round the back" and how they were using a homemade kiln in the carpark. We stuck our heads out the back door and were made to feel very welcome by the Studios owners who took the time to show us around and explain how the kiln worked, some of the various pieces etc.

The game of Laserquest is in essence a form of Tag but with a twist! Points are awarded every time you shoot another player, with points deducted every time you are shot. At the end of each game, scores are displayed on monitors with each player receiving an individual score card that has a detailed breakdown of their points.

Having spend many happy hour at Rockstar, I can't recommend it enough to people looking for a great physical challenge with all sorts of health benefits - with great staff and people who soon become friends. The new centre is fantastic and has opened up more opportunities to learn new skills. They have now opened up an area for children, which is a relief as there is nothing worse than children running wild because parents just want to sit and drink tea. That said the 'most' children are super talented and have great parents wanting to join in. Reading some of the reviews though, a limited number of parents think this is some sort of 'softplay'. Yes this is an activity that is for all of the family and fun, but at the same time, climbing is about mind, body & responsibility. Children can learn so much from this, but please, if you take your kids, make sure you are with them to ensure correct child management, at the end of the day, this is a potentially dangerous sport.

Booked some pumpkin picking for 10am on Sunday the 25th October. We were meet by a friendly chap who signed us in and gave us a quick chat about the venue. Our Daughter loved the pumpkins, scary stones and painted pallets. The activity was COVID safe with relevant cleaning process in place and li9mited numbers on entry made it all feel nice and safe. Prices for pumpkins and toys were very reasonable too. Don't forget your wellies if its been raining. We are hoping to come back and try the softplay soon. Thanks

Had a great first visit. The staff were lovely and helpful and made sure my son was competent with the kart controls it being his first time. They also were spot on with the safety side of things and made sure I was ok when I had a bump. Totally impressed with the friendly helpful staff as well as having so much fun with the actual karting.
