We will also run an interactive escape room-style performance of Fete of the War, written and performed by our Performing Arts Workshop.

---

This interactive escape room performance will involve up to three teams trying to track down the spy and recover the plans before time runs out and the plans are passed into enemy hands. The audience/players must solve puzzles and interact with the colourful characters that inhabit the Easter Fete to uncover the many mysteries.

About the Fete of the War

The date is Easter Sunday, 1st April 1945. Little did the general public know that we were in the last weeks of the Second World War and that plans were not only afoot but that the last push was already underway. In the war-weary village of Willen, near the top-secret intelligence facility Station X, the locals came together to hold a village Easter Fete. But trouble was lurking as secret plans for taking Berlin were coveted by enemy spies, and where better to strike than on an unsuspecting and innocent Easter celebration.
We need your help recovering the plans and finding the spy, but in a village full of locals keeping secrets, who can be trusted?

There are two sessions: 10:30-11:30 and 12:30-13:30.
Each session is £2.50 per person.
Activity lasts an hour, so please arrive promptly to have time to register and solve the clues.

Book the interactive escape room performance/experience on Saturday, 21st June HERE.
