All aboard for Titanic’s final meal

It’ll be all hands on deck this Autumn as a popular and immersive theatre experience docks at Cadbury House.


 

Billed as the Queen of the Ocean, the event will take guests on a journey of opulence and extravagance and relive the final 24 hours of RMS Titanic.

Taking place at the popular four-star hotel in Congresbury, North Somerset, guests will be transported back to 14 April 1912 and the maiden voyage of White Star Line’s flagship liner.

Using an original script, the evening will be brought to life by a cast of actors, which will include Captain Edward Smith, who will act out the events around the tables.

The evening will also include a three-course meal based on an actual menu that was discovered in the pocket of a first-class survivor.

Matilda Burgess, sales manager at Cadbury House, said: “The aim is to create a historically authentic experience that guests, or, in this case, passengers will remember.

“This includes unique correspondence from the start with each ticket purchase containing a letter from the Captain and a boarding pass (based on the same design used in 1912).

“Inside the Great Room, there will be a number of features including, for example, a cold-water tank with water chilled to the same temperature as the sea on 14 April 1912. There will also be a Morse Code machine with instructions on how to send an SOS message.

“The first part of the show is designed to allow the guests to experience these interactively before the ship sets sail and the starter is served.

“From then on, the actors perform as part of the immersive theatre experience with characters representing the crew from different classes and how their evening unfolds in comparison to the enjoyment being had by the first-class passengers.

“We’re always looking for new events here at Cadbury House and this certainly is very different.”

The three-course meal includes a Salmon Mousseline for the starter, Chicken Lyonnaise for the main and Waldorf Pudding for dessert.

The Queen of the Ocean is to take place on two nights including the 10 & 11 November 2023. The cost is £80 per person and includes a drink on arrival and a three-course meal.
