Hexmoor: London's Fantasy Prison

Experience, with Cocktails

You've been convicted of dark magic.

Tonight you serve your sentence at Hexmoor Penitentiary, the most

secure prison in the magical realm, hidden beneath Hackney Road.

The guards hand you a jumpsuit at the door, lock you in a cell and

dose you with potions to keep your magic down. Then the walls start

talking.

Hexmoor is immersive theatre with live actors and three cocktails

included. The show runs for 1 hour 45 minutes, and it's as funny as

it is dramatic.

YOUR SENTENCE:

A hidden realm of

magic sits alongside our own. Commit an ordinary crime and you end

up in Alcotraz. Commit a crime of dark magic and you end up

here.

Inmates have been vanishing from their cells for two months. A

prophecy says the thing this prison was built to hold is coming

back at midnight. The High Constable insists everything is under

control, and nobody in the cell block believes her.

Somewhere in your cell is a wand. Its light shows the messages the

missing prisoners left on the walls, and those messages point to

the High Constable's private vault. Work with the inmates to break

in, decide which of the staff is secretly serving the enemy, and be

in the cell block when the clock strikes twelve.

You'll share the night with a governor who introduces herself with

a list of her own magazine awards, a guard who deals contraband and

is bored of everyone, and a non-magical exchange worker from

Indianapolis who badly wants to tell you about the zoo. Talk to

them, bargain with them, play along. The more you give the cast,

the more you get back.

THE POTIONS:

Your three cocktails are the

prison's suppressant potions, mixed by its resident hexologists and

dosed to hold an inmate's magic down. Each one changes in front of

you.

The Apprentice, from

£44.50

The full show, a cell for the length of your sentence, your

jumpsuit and three potion cocktails.

The Enchanter, from £57.00

Everything in the Apprentice, plus a fourth shimmering cocktail and

This winter:

Hexmoor: The Longest Night (Christmas Special)

3 November to 10

January, Tuesday to Sunday

For midwinter, the prison keeps its own observance. The Longest

Night is Hexmoor reworked for the darkest stretch of the year: the

same cell block, the same inmates and the same threat at midnight,

with [one-line story hook from the synopsis]. Every cell gets a

lantern.

The Longest Night replaces the regular show for the whole run, so

every booking between 3 November and 10 January is for the winter

production.

The Apprentice, from £48

The full winter show, your cell, your jumpsuit and three potion

cocktails.

The Winter Enchanter, from £61

Everything in the Apprentice, plus a festive cocktail and a Hexmoor

tin candle to take home.

The Sorcerer, from £84

Everything in the Winter Enchanter, plus a handcrafted wooden wand

to keep.

Planning a Christmas do? Your group always gets its own cell.

Smaller groups can book online here, and groups of more than 30 can

hire Hexmoor privately. Email us on info@hexmoor.co.uk
