*The Canterbury Tales Attraction is being transformed into The Canterbury Tales Experience, a cutting-edge immersive adventure debuting in Summer 2024.*

Situated in the historic centre of Canterbury, this unique attraction takes visitors on an immersive journey through Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval tales, brought to life with groundbreaking technology and innovative storytelling. This experience aims to be both educational and entertaining.

Each visit is designed to be a unique and evolving adventure, powered by the latest in special effects, projection mapping, and virtual reality technology, ensuring a diverse and memorable experience with each visit.

Follow the classic tales with advanced motion capture, animations, and animatronics, developed in collaboration with Pit Stop Productions and Ensee Ltd. Visitors embark from a themed London setting, journey down the Old Kent Road experiencing The Canterbury Tales stories as they travel, and conclude at The Chequers of Hope Inn, our exciting, thematic, bar.

The Chequers of Hope Inn will continue to serve as the vibrant heart of the attraction, hosting a variety of entertainment and communal activities.

Find out more about the project and how to support it 

Opening Soon!

Please be aware that this attraction is not yet open to the public. 

The Canterbury Tales Experience will launch to visitors in summer 2024.
