🔦 SOME SECRETS ARE BETTER LEFT BURIED...
Think you know the Brickworks at Bursledon? Think again. When the sun goes down, the kilns go cold, and the shadows grow long, the history of this factory starts to breathe.

You’re invited to step inside our dark corridors for an immersive experience unlike any other. But carry your torch closely—you aren't as alone as you think.

👻 WHAT LURKS WITHIN?
Echoes of the Past: Encounter figures from the factory’s history lurking in the rusting machinery. They have stories to tell... and secrets to hide.

The Legend: They say former workers return after dark to relive their final moments. But even the ghosts are running from something.

The Foreman: Beware the heavy boots echoing in the hall. The Foreman is still on the clock, and he doesn’t take kindly to those wandering away from their posts.

🗓️ THE DETAILS
Duration: 1 – 1.5 hours of atmospheric tension.

The Experience: Interactive theatre, live actors, and group participation.

Age: Suitable for ages 12+ (must be accompanied by an adult).

Will you uncover the truth and escape before the stories run out? Or will you become part of the machinery?

🎟️ Space is limited! Do you have the nerve to face the Foreman?
