Oxley will host the “Fawlty Towers” The Dining Experience at Oxley Golf Club, offering an interactive mix of comedy and improvisation that has become a hallmark of the long-running show. The event is expected to draw interest from locals who enjoy theatre that brings the audience directly into the action rather than keeping the performance on a distant stage.
A Community Event with Returning Fans
The show has toured for 29 years and features an improvised format that keeps performers interacting closely with guests throughout the meal. The dining experience is produced by Interactive Theatre International, a company known for creating immersive, site-specific comedy shows that blend theatre and improvisation.
The company trains its actors to embody the series’s familiar personalities while adapting to unpredictable, real-time interactions, which is why the show is often described as mostly improvised.
On 14 February 2026, attendees will enjoy a three-course meal while performers portray characters inspired by the original television series. These performances shift in real time due to the show’s improvised nature, giving Oxley audiences a version shaped in the moment.
The classic British sitcom “Fawlty Towers” starred John Cleese and became known for its sharp humour and unforgettable characters. The live experience places guests in the middle of a recreated hotel dining room where performers take on the roles of Basil, Sybil and Manuel, bringing the sitcom’s chaotic charm into a real-world setting.
Multiple sources describe the experience as the longest-running “Fawlty Towers”-inspired show in the world. Because the performance is largely improvised, no two shows are the same. This is an interactive experience that relies on audience involvement and a shifting timing that changes from moment to moment.
The format mixes scripted moments with spontaneous comedy, making every performance different while keeping the spirit of the original television series at its core.
What Guests Can Expect from the Oxley Golf Club
Details provided by the Oxley Golf Club and theatre listings state that the event includes a two-hour interactive comedy experience paired with a menu influenced by the 1970s era in which the original series was set. The ticket covers both the meal and the performance, with drinks available for purchase separately.
Organisers also note that flash photography is not permitted during the show. Event pages explain that doors open 30 minutes before the show begins, giving guests time to arrive and settle before seating starts.
