Had a fantastic time back at Xscape Now! Their latest game, Sweeney Todd, is a shining example of excellent Room design! A great variety of interesting and enjoyable puzzles, twisting narrative and surprising reveals and some lovely build quality with both decor and props. All presented by two wonderful hosts with a real and heartfelt desire to provide a brilliant experience! If you're in the area (or even if you're not) this is well worth a visit! Well done you guys, can't wait to see what you cook up next. Hope it's not more meat pies...!

Went to Harry Potter Thursday. A most for Harry Potter fans who came suitably dressed, as where the friendly staff and volunteers. Comfortable seats with everyone suitably socially distanced. A lovely treat in these difficult times and a way to support local business. Throughly recommend, only wish we had been to the showing of the other HP films this was the last one in the series.

Me and my partner had never done an escape room before, nor would we probably have booked one off our own back but this was a Christmas gift from loved ones, and we absolutely loved it! As soon as we got home we’re looking to book the other room at Adventure Vault and other local ones! When we got there Tom our guide greeted us straight away, we introduced ourselves as absolute beginners and he explained everything we needed to know making us feel at ease. We popped our stuff in their lockers at enter the room, ours was called ‘The Scandal’. Unfortunately we got locked in, and didn’t complete it within the hour slot, however Tom kindly let us finish and we completed it 4 minutes after the deadline. Not too bad for complete rookies and it scratched that itch we would have had if we got kicked out without completing all the puzzles. The puzzles themselves were brilliant, real brain teasers that got us working together. My only problem is we didn’t get stuck in sooner, we were too cautious at the beginning and perhaps wasted too much time. Tom kept and eye out and listened all the way through, probably pulling his hair out at how close we were to getting some puzzles, and how far away from others. If we needed a clue all we had to do was ask and he’d display one on the tv in the escape room, but the clues still got us thinking and they weren’t obvious. We took too long to get through the first door, but once into the second room and seeing the timer deplete it was such a rush. Really enjoyed the puzzles and still kicking myself over some of the more obvious ones. Can’t thank Tom enough, we had a great time doing something I never thought we’d usually do, can’t wait to come back to try the other room. Cheers!

Not my choice of film - Cats...... but our seats were so comfortable it almost made up for watching a film I didn’t want see. I’d much rather have seen Star Wars.... Every member of staff we spoke to were so friendly and helpful. The super reclining leather seats and great staff make it much more of a treat going to the cinema.

Haven’t been to the cinema in some time and was treated to some tickets at Christmas so decided to use them to watch Deadpool 2. Huge inside, clean, modern and airy. Went on the escalator to the first floor and was served promptly by a friendly guy who helped us. Then went to screen 5 for the film and I was impressed with the seats we had chosen - really comfy and spacious. Only thing I hated and I know that most cinemas do this is that we had to sit through 30 minutes of adverts and trailers - when a film is advertised at 20.10 and doesn’t start until 20.40 it is really irritating. Would return again in the future as I liked the cinema band the surroundings.

I don’t often write reviews, but felt compelled to after reading some negative reviews that nearly put us off going. We went with 4 children aged between 5 and 12 and had a great time! Worked out about £9 each and we were on the ice for a couple of hours. No complaints with anything, staff friendly and helpful, facilities in pretty good nick. Attendants on the rink who were there in a flash if anyone fell over. It’s a traditional ice rink, bright with good music playing. Was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience and would definitely recommend as a school holiday activity!
