The sell-out shows have been taking place since 2021 at our heritage railway, and we’d love to welcome you on board! Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience is the world’s most sought-after tribute to the BBC sitcom and is simply ‘fantastic!’ and ‘outrageously funny!’

Become part of the action as Basil, Sybil, and Manuel serve up mayhem on a moving train alongside a three-course meal and two hours of laughter. 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 wholly immersive and highly interactive experience is a comedy spectacular where anything can happen… and usually does!

Faulty 1

Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience!

If you love the original show, you’ll find Faulty Towers The Dining Experience a unique, novel pleasure and unmissably great fun. It doesn’t replicate the TV scripts. Rather, its three performers inhabit the spirit of Torquay’s most inept hoteliers, Basil, Sybil and Manuel to a ‘T’, and you’ll be caught up in their madcap melee even as you dig in to your three-course dinner on a moving train!
Sunday Lunch

A three-course dinner!

Tuck into a three-course meal on our moving train! The menus vary throughout the year and are available below. Will Manuel serve you a bread roll in your lap, and will Basil drop the teeth in the soup?!

You’ll have to book onto Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience to find out – make sure you listen out for the fire drill.

drinks

Enjoy a drink too!

We all love a drink and we’ve a great selection on board the train for you, including beers, ciders, gins, whisky, English wines, house wines, soft drinks, and hot drinks.

A lot of our drinks come from local breweries and vineyards, so you’re not only supporting what we do—you’re also helping Kent-based businesses.
