Written by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience began in 1997 at the Rydges Hotel in Brisbane. Since then, it has been seen by close to two million people worldwide in 43 countries. The show had its first London performance in 2009 with a sold-out weekend in Covent Garden, followed by summer seasons. In 2012, it opened its first West End residency at the Charing Cross Hotel, which became a record-breaking 10-year run. In 2022, it moved to the President Hotel in Bloomsbury where it continues its record-breaking run, including back-to-back Group Leisure and Travel awards in 2023 and 2024. In 2025 the show was recognised by The Guardian UK as one of the longest running shows in London.
Over the years, the show has toured to over 2,000 venues, performing approximately 600 shows annually, and entertained Royalty and celebrities such as Andrew Sachs, John McEnroe, and Joe Cole. With 29 years touring internationally, it continues to receive rave reviews for its dynamic, interactive format that pays homage to the classic sitcom.
