A Taste of: Faulty Towers The Dining Experience!Straight from London’s West End via the legendary Sydney Opera House, this international sensation has been specially adapted to be performed on a moving steam train and is coming to the Spa Valley Railway for some Sunday lunch chaos in 2025! Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is the world’s most sought after tribute to the BBC sitcom and is simply ‘fantastic!’ (What’s on Stage) and ‘outrageously funny!’ (BroadwayBaby).

Expect nothing short of guaranteed fun as you climb aboard and climb inside the BBC's iconic TV show and experience it from the inside out… this completely immersive and highly interactive experience is a comedy spectacular where anything can happen… and usually does!
