Access Information

The Escapement's missions involve small spaces that require crawling, flashing lights and smoke effects. 

They can modify these if you need but they do require advance notice. They may not be able to modify the missions on the day of your booking.

Game masters will be monitoring you constantly and you can leave any time you want to.

Nearest bus stop is the one opposite Sweyn Road (79 Northdown Road), which puts you almost immediately outside their building. The nearest car park is Trinity Square (CT9 1LZ), which has 6 disabled bays.

The Isle of Sheppey and Faversham - Where the wild coast begins

There is nowhere quite like The Isle of Sheppey and Faversham. Wild marshes stretch to the horizon. Seals haul out on mudflats within sight of the shore. The beaches are long, sweeping and blissfully quiet; the skies enormous.
