If you’ve ever wanted to dine with Basil Fawlty, dodge Manuel’s trolley, and survive Sybil’s withering glare over a three-course meal, your moment has arrived. Fawlty Towers The Dining Experience is coming to Diggers The Entrance on Friday 8 May, and it is exactly as chaotic, hilarious, and brilliant as it sounds.
Now in its 29th year of touring, this internationally acclaimed show is the longest-running Fawlty Towers production in the world. With 70% of the show improvised, no two performances are ever the same. It’s not dinner theatre — it’s a full-blown comedy ambush where anything can (and usually does) happen.

Our suggestion? Don’t just go for the night. Make a proper occasion of it and stay with us at ibis Styles The Entrance.
Doors open at 6:30pm and the show kicks off promptly at 7pm, running through to 9:30pm. Included in your ticket is a full three-course meal:
Entrée: Pumpkin soup (gluten free)
Main: Chicken supreme with garlic mash, fresh seasonal vegetables, and a creamy mustard sauce (gluten free)
Dessert: French vanilla cheesecake with mango and passionfruit coulis
Tickets are $79.95 for non-members and $74.95 for Diggers members. For a show of this calibre — immersive, interactive, critically acclaimed across the globe — that is genuinely outstanding value for a full evening’s entertainment with a sit-down meal included.
The short version: two hours of chaos, a three-course dinner, and memories you’ll be talking about for years.
Here’s the thing about a big night out at Diggers: the last thing you want is to be watching the clock because you’ve got a long drive home. When you stay with us, that problem disappears entirely.
ibis Styles The Entrance is located right next door to Diggers, which means you can walk to the show, enjoy a drink without a second thought, and be back in your room within minutes of the final curtain. No taxis, no designated drivers, no regrets.
Our rooms are comfortable, well-appointed, and designed for exactly this kind of getaway. Here’s what you get when you book with us:
The Entrance is genuinely one of the most underrated spots on the New South Wales coast. Spend Friday exploring the waterfront, grab breakfast at a local café on Saturday morning, and take a stroll along the beach before heading home. Pair that with a Friday night at the Fawlty Towers show and you’ve got yourself a proper little getaway.
Shows like this don’t hang around. Fawlty Towers The Dining Experience has been selling out venues around the world for nearly three decades, and a night like this at Diggers will go fast.

Basil won’t be pleased to see you. But we absolutely will.
