10 Fun Activities & Games in Newark-on-Trent That You Shouldn't Miss
Newark-on-Trent or Newark /ˈnjuːək/ is a market town and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of the county of Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands of England. It stands on the River Trent, the A1 (on the route of the ancient Great North Road), and the East Coast Main Line railway. The origins of the town are possibly Roman, as it lies on an important Roman road, the Fosse Way. The town grew around Newark Castle, now ruined, and a large market place, now lined with historic buildings. It was a centre for the wool and cloth trades. In the English Civil War, it was besieged by Parliamentary forces and had to be relieved by Prince Rupert in a battle known as the Relief of Newark.

Me and my partner decided to take on Sacred and The Rig and we were not disappointed! We have completed over 150 rooms and both of these are up there in terms of story, puzzles and aesthetics. From your arrival the host is very engaging and is fantastic explaining the real history of each room you are about to complete and its relation to Kelham Hall to really set the scene. Each room is spot on and gives all different group sizes a great challenge that will keep you tuned in until the end. My partner preferred Sacred and preferred The Rig, which tells me both were great. A wide variety of puzzles and some interesting solutions. Lets Xscape are certainly worth a visit

Perfectly situated in Newark Town center over looking the market place with both indoor and out door seating is great for just popping in during a shopping trip or a look around Newark Market.

Anthony and the team really care about everyone who enters, giving a very warm welcome, Providing a comfortable, safe and enjoyable experience every time. They have a very indepth knowledge of games of all types and can offer a style of play to suit anyone and everyone who wants to play. Even taking time out to offer support on learning the ropes and even in quite moments joining in and making the experience that much more memorable. This place is so much more than a cafe and so much more than a gaming club putting on events and shows that are fantastic, engaging and thought provoking coming from near and far. Supporting and promoting not just themselves but other local organisations and shops that are worth a visit or just knowing about. The community spirit is so radiant through out this place its oozing through the walls. What they do in bringing people together is brilliant and I for one think they're amazing! Newarks been needing something like this for a long time and Anthony and gang are the perfect people to do so! I make regular visits and I'm so thankful for all that they do!
