The Lost Estate

4.6 ·

Step into The Lost Estate for a night that's part feast, part theatre. Settle into an elaborately staged world like the 1920s Parisian cabaret of Chat Noir, enjoying a multi-course dinner as costumed performers weave a story through the room around you.

✨

Reasons to go

  • Its current production, Chat Noir, recreates a 1920s Parisian cabaret with a multi-course dinner woven into the performance
  • Performers stay in character and move through the room around diners rather than staging a traditional front-facing show
  • The company also stages seasonal literary adaptations, such as an atmospheric reading of A Christmas Carol with live music
📖

Full description

The Lost Estate builds fully realized theatrical worlds — most recently the 1920s-Parisian-cabaret setting of Chat Noir — where the audience eats a multi-course dinner while performers weave a story through the room around them. Reviewers describe it as closer to immersive theatre than dinner service, with meticulous attention to costume, set and character work.

A 4.6 rating and a trendy_score of 89 point to a buzzy, in-demand evening rather than a conventional show, while a hidden_gem_score in the mid-40s suggests it hasn't yet reached mainstream landmark status. It suits couples or groups after a special-occasion night that combines food, spectacle and theatre in one sitting.

Reviews

We attended the Dickens evening reading of Christmas Carol. What an atmospheric wonderfully evening. With live music excellent food and a magnificent performance of the much loved tale. A great evening made wonderful by the costumes of the audience and a brilliant performance by Charlie Dickens. Well worth a visit.
