What Are
Immersive events?

Immersive events are theatrical experiences that stimulate every sense, blurring the line between reality and fiction.

Step into a theatrical world where you're not just watching a play, but shaping the story and choosing your own adventure, like exploring a theme park built for adults.

Dine with ghosts in a haunted manor house, or dance with the rich & infamous at a glamorous Victorian ball. Live out your wildest fantasies. Friends of Autumn events can transport you to these extraordinary worlds, offering guests an upscale escape from the ordinary.
