The world's most sought-after immersive dining show is back in Melbourne this autumn.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience, Australia’s greatest theatre export, has been captivating audiences for 27 years. The original immersive dining experience based on the iconic BBC series will transform the Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel into Fawlty Towers for a limited run this autumn, inviting diners to become part of the chaotic world of Basil, Sybil and Manuel.
Labelled “theatre at its startling best” by Best of Theatre, London West End, this globe-trotting tour-de-force has smashed records across 43 countries and welcomed over one million guests through its doors since its humble beginnings in 1997.

This two-hour interactive experience puts you right in the middle of the action, as you’re served a delicious 70s-style three-course meal while the hilarity unfolds around you. You won’t just be watching the show – you’ll be esteemed guests of the infamous hotel, with all the chaos, mishaps and side-splitting comedy that entails.
The Melbourne performances run Tuesday through Sunday, with evening shows starting at 7pm (arrive by 6:30pm) and weekend lunches at 1pm (arrive by 12:30pm). Ticket prices vary by day, with Tuesday and Wednesday dinners at $97 plus booking fee, Thursday dinners and weekend lunches at $103 plus booking fee, and Friday and Saturday dinners at $123 plus booking fee.
The highly improvised, fully immersive performance guarantees two straight hours of side-splitting laughter as audiences watch Basil’s incompetence, Sybil’s cutting remarks, and Manuel’s well-intentioned blunders unfold in real time. Guests are encouraged to pack their sense of humour and be prepared for a hotel experience where anything can (and will) go wrong.
The production has toured globally since 1997 and continues to sell out quickly wherever it goes, so early booking is recommended to secure your place at this unique theatrical dining experience that has become an international phenomenon.
