Celebrating 50 Years of Fawlty Towers: The dining experience

A man and woman stand behind a bar, smiling and engaging with customers in a lively atmosphere.
For fans of Fawlty Towers, there’s no better way to celebrate the iconic sitcom’s 50th anniversary than with a seat at Faulty Towers The Dining Experience.

This immersive theatrical show has not only become the longest-running production at the Adelaide Fringe but also tours globally, bringing the chaos and hilarity of the Fawlty Towers universe to life.

While the original TV series aired only 12 episodes, its influence endures, proving that some comedy truly stands the test of time. Faulty Towers The Dining Experience has taken that legacy and transformed it into a dining adventure where audiences step into the world of Basil, Sybil, and Manuel—and become part of the punchlines.

The enduring appeal of Fawlty Towers lies in its sharp writing, unforgettable characters, and hilarious exploration of the chaos behind a seaside hotel. The dynamics between the perpetually stressed Basil, the no-nonsense Sybil, and the hapless Manuel remain irresistibly funny.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience captures this magic, allowing audiences to relive—and participate in—the comedic mayhem. Whether it’s an argument breaking out across the room or a waiter dropping plates in spectacular style, the show places you at the heart of the action.

A unique dining experience

What sets Faulty Towers The Dining Experience apart is its fully immersive nature. The show blends theatre and dining, with actors seamlessly interacting with the audience while embodying the beloved characters. From Sybil’s sharp retorts to Basil’s frantic antics, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into the Fawlty Towers dining room—chaos and all.
