Locked In escape rooms

We have 2 fully immersive themed rooms to entertain, intrigue and thrill you, your friends, family or colleagues. Our rooms The Bunker and Asylum have been expertly created and themed, to engage your senses and challenge your mind.

I visited both escape rooms last Friday night with a large group of work colleagues, we split into two teams, did one room each and swapped rooms upon escape. Jamie (the host / owner) could not be more welcoming, he made sure we all had a great time and was a delight throughout. You can have from 2-8 people in each room, maximum occupancy lowers the price per person. 'Aslyum' I would say makes use of slightly more practical problem solving skills when compared with 'Bunker', which uses a touch more theory to escape. Each theme has clearly been meticulously thought out with puzzles, challenges and engaging stories to ensure a rewarding release. I'd highly recommend 'Locked In' to all groups; couples, families, colleagues, friends etc. It's really easy to get to with loads of great local bars and restaurants in walking distance, a top night out. Book now, you won't regret it!

Lower Leas Coastal Park

New measures have been introduced by Folkestone & Hythe District Council in response to the sheer numbers of people visiting the Lower Leas Coastal Park. These measures include: Banning barbecues in the Coastal Park with immediate effect. BBQ pods have been removed. Refreshing the double yellow lines along Radnor Cliff Road. Installing a lockable barrier on the Coastal Park car park and close this overnight from 8pm - 8am to discourage groups from staying late into the evening. We are unable to release any vehicles over night. Installing additional signage and exploring the use of large electronic signage located at various points in the district/access points to the park areas. Increasing the amount of enforcement and advisory officers to give a higher visual presence. We will be issuing warnings - and potentially fines - to anyone acting in a way that negatively impacts on others.

This park is along the cliff and under cliff of Folkestone and provides a lovely green walk between the town above and the sea below. It is a pretty Victorian experience - an amphitheatre with the sea as a backdrop; attractively planted flower beds; a zig-zag path up the cliff through the the trees to the bandstand on the esplanade above. And all the time, the sea and pebble beaches stretching out to give lovely views. What a treat - and all for free. I wonder if the funicular railway/lift works in the summer to complete the back-in-time experience.

The operation has a lovely charm to it and I would hate to see it replaced with a multi-national cinema complex with no character. It's local, it's friendly, it has current films and is excellent value for money - long live Folkestone Silver Screen!

Whatever your age and inclination towards competitive sports, this is the pièce de résistance for a day out on Folkestone Harbour Arm. With classic contraptions such as a windmill, bridge and lighthouse, the mini golf course is going to be hard to pass without having a go, as you head into or out of the Arm.
