TimeTrap Escape Rooms are Reading's award winning, 5 star rated immersive escape room venue. We send you back in time to rewrite the history with you as the hero!
We had an excellent time today at Time Trap playing two rooms back to back! Both rooms were great and felt very distinctly different. Both were incredibly designed and were a lot of fun. My favourite was Imaginarium, it was very unique and all of the puzzles were fab! Pudding Lane was great too, the atmosphere was awesome, so was the set. Our Time Travel Engineers were both fantastic from the beginning brief to the debrief at the end - thank you Ella and Tegan for your help! They gave well timed clues when we needed them :D We’ll hopefully be back to play Station X soon. (I need to collect the last badge!)

We did the "Doctor Who: Worlds Collide" escape room recently, which was very fun! Interesting puzzles, our game master Matt facilitated well and gave an appropriate level of hints (enough to make sure we weren't stuck), and some good easter eggs for Doctor Who fans for this particular room!

The Museum of English Rural Life is one of the best things to do in Reading. Whether on your own or with friends and family, discover our new immersive galleries, research our collections, refresh in our café and relax in our garden. Admission is free. The museum houses the most comprehensive national collection of objects, books and archives relating to the history of food, farming and the countryside. The museum galleries and garden were recently redeveloped thanks to Heritage Lottery funding.
A museum that is interesting, informative and educational, suitable for all age groups and best of all admission is free. The story of English rural life is told through a wide range of exhibits from horse drawn wagons large and small, early steam and petrol vehicles agricultural impliments, and items used by country folk in everyday life. For younger visitors there are a number of excellent interactive exhibits. Those of a certain age will recall childhood countryside days out and holidays. The only downside is that parking is very limited so best travel by public transport.

An 18th-century house, a 1950s homeThis is a story of grandeur created, dissolved and resurrected - not once, but twice.Basildon Park is an impressive Georgian mansion, surrounded by glorious parkland, which was lovingly rescued from ruin by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the mid 1950s. The house you see today is a re-creation and restoration of the 18th-century mansion. They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country salvaging 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings. They filled their comfortable new home with fine paintings, fabrics and furniture, which can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
Very beautiful house that original and several prosperous, successive owners never fulfilled to its potential as a dynastic home. WW2 offered limited available accommodation to HQ elements (intriguingly claimed for both the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions) prior to their sacrifice in !944. Their basic operations office with a new A/V display is functional, but emotional in context to those who left here to fight. The NT has furnished rooms with appropriate furnishings and displays although the original treasures are long gone. The house volunteer staff are some of the most friendly and informative you could ever hope to meet. Big kitchen and still used for cookery classes in traditional catering menus. Lovely surrounding flower gardens although much now to lawn. Approach to the House is from the public car park via a Yew Tree walk with wooden statuary and a play site for little persons. Particular worthy of mention are the delicious cakes and excellent coffee/tea available in the tea room inside ( jungle animal murals by Riddle ) or sit in outside court in fine weather.

Not for wet weather but on a sunny day the circuit of the wall is well worth doing. Handy parking. Take in the 12th Century Church and the amphitheatre. Lovely countryside views. Drinks and food at the Calleva in Silchester.

Tucked away on the edge of a housing estate, on the fringes of a country park, this museum is a hidden gem. It doesn’t have the attention grabbers, like Spitfires and Hurricanes, but it does have a wealth of exhibits and information about some of the lesser known ‘greats’ of British aviation. It is staffed by volunteers, who have a real passion for their subject, and £3.50 per adult entrance fee doesn’t seem enough. Well worth a visit.
