This was our first ever escape room experience (me and my 10 year old son) so we chose to do "Pirates of the Polaris" Our captain was absolutely fantastic, welcoming, professional and incredibly charming, and we had great fun solving the really intricate puzzles and rooms. Very immersive and I would recommend to anyone. Hoping to come back and do "The Pit" on our next adventure.

We did the Detention room today (sadly it is closing soon) for our second visit to Ctrl Alt Esc and as with our last visit, found it to be a fantastic room. I like how their rooms here are 90 minutes long which means that there are lots of puzzles to solve. The detention room was a great setting and everything worked perfectly in the room. There was a good range of puzzles and the soundtrack to the room was particularly amusing, without being too loud or intrusive. Cat was a brilliant GM, full of passion and excitement, who was reserved with her hint giving, allowing us time to work things out for ourselves rather than jumping in with clues immediately. It was also great to talk to her afterwards and share escape room experiences - it does make such a difference when the GM has done lots of rooms themselves and knows what makes a good GM. Overall, for a small independent family run business, they offer some fantastic rooms that provide lots of entertainment.
4. Theatre Royal

A gem of a theatre in Margate town presenting an exciting mix of shows and events.
Reviewed By kevjeff54 - Hockley, United Kingdom
We attended a show compered by LUNATRAKTORS, an amusing folk duo supported by a number of female acts based around Power of Women and International Women’s Day. The show combined dance, song and music, poetry and of course old folk, otherwise known as Broken Folk by Lunatraktors themselves. The actual theatre oozes character and a long history dating back originally to the 18th century and is regularly seen to stage famous acts from London’s west end as well as local talent. A very cosy venue in a traditional style with balconies and boxes and magnificent decor. If anything could be improved it would be the external structure that needs a bit of TLC.

We've been coming to Margate since I was a child and this is the first time I have stepped into Westbrook beach, it's a lovely stretch of golden sand, much quieter than its busy neigbour and better for it, ideal for a winter walk, blue skies and all.

Tonight attended an exclusive party at Clubworld. Staff and facilities were amazing. Have been to a number of soft play places and all equipment was far superior as well as being clean and well laid out compared to many. All involved in the running of Clubworld were friendly and helpful. Can not recommend high enough as a place to go.

Currently closed within government guidelines. A subterranean adventure awaits at the Margate Caves. The Caves have a varied past; from chalk mine to rich mans folly and Victorian tourist attraction. What will you discover at the Caves?

We really loved this place. It’s a quirky little hidey hole in every sense. It’s a pleasant way to while away a few hours. It’s not too difficult to get around and the history behind it is very interesting. Afterwards it’s well worth a sit down in the cafe for a coffee and amazing cakes. There are other very tasty food items but the cakes are fantastic.
