What happens on the day?
On arrival at your experience, the two of you will join an 8-person group. The experience involves actors, music and technology, so to enable everyone to make the most out of their visit, time slots will run every 10 minutes. As you step inside, you’ll immediately be immersed in H.G. Wells’ Victorian world, where live actors, holograms, 5D effects and movie quality sets combine to make this an experience like no other.
Your visit will last for 2 hours, which includes a 20 minute interval in the Red Weed Bar. You’re advised to wear comfortable footwear and clothes you can move in as you’ll need to bend down while walking and crawling, squeeze through narrow tunnels and to get through tight spaces. However if you feel unable to participate there are other routes, simply speak to a member staff on arrival.

A thrilling adventure
This was more of an adventure than I expected, but great fun. Fabulous journey through the musical score, physical interaction with live characters, interspersed with amazing 3D whilst wearing VR Helmets. Be aware you do have to duck through gaps, crawl through holes, and descend a very tiny spiral stair case, but I loved it - I survived he invasion!

Great experience
Really good day out, better and far more professional than we were expecting. A lot is done with virtual reality so I wouldn’t recommend for anyone with motion sickness. Some really funny moments!

superb mix of vr and actors
I absolutely loved this experience. It was well acted and presented. The music and vr was excellent. The only downside was the insane prices for drinks. A tenner for a glass of prosecco is just bonkers.

A must for any WOTW fan!
Absolutely fantastic experience! Went with my 19 year old daughter as she bought the experience from Virgin Red Letter Days for my birthday. Like a few have mentioned, my VR set didn’t work for the first VR bit, but that’s only a few minutes, and they do give you a drinks token for the “interval”, and offer to try and get you back in for that bit, but I wasn’t bothered as I could see on a screen what was happening. The rest of it was faultless and amazing! Actors were brilliant too! I’d go again

interesting experience
Difficult to give it anything other than average as the equipment i was given stopped working for part of it. When we arrived our booking was not on their system so we waited 30 minutes for another slot and they gave us a free drink which was a kind gesture.

Good deal, great experience, BUT...
We bought 2 virgin experiences- Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience for 4 people, we are so excited to go as a group BUT we can only book for 2 people in a day, the other 2 people need to book another day, which was very annoying. We called customer service who didn't really help. The Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds has no response either. Otherwise the immersive experience is fantastic, highly recommended but never go through virgin.
