Permanently Closed - Over 70 years later recent refurbishment at Kelham Hall by the new owners, have uncovered one such drill site right in the heart of the historic house! They are now dealing with a highly volatile RIG having been left to decay for decades and are calling in engineers to deal with the situation. They need your help. Early monitoring suggests a massive explosion is imminent, large enough to demolish the stately home entirely and likely to occur in just over 60 minutes! They are looking for groups of would be engineers, highly skilled in communications, team work and with physical and mental prowess under pressure. Your team must enter the facility, workout how to shut the RIG down and get out before the time is up.

Beautiful venue & really good set with local flavour to the backstory. After oil drilling rigs were shot down at the end of WW2, refurbishment has uncovered one which must be made safe before it explodes- a task you have an hour to complete. The rig itself is on show right from the start but you have to go through a series of challenges to get the items you’ll need to complete your mission. There is light physical work involved, some steps & moving items about, but it’s not overly demanding for someone of average physical fitness. We’d read great reviews of this venue before attending & things which set high expectations often make me feel nervous that I’ll be disappointed- but that certainly wasn’t the case here.
