Mobile ticket

Inspired by your favourite apocalyptic films and series, this small-group walking tour along Hadrian’s Wall blends breathtaking scenery with immersive storytelling, light-hearted survival fun and real Roman history.

Step into a fictional future where society has collapsed—and the Roman frontier is once again the edge of civilization. With one bag and one mission, you’ll travel two miles to the safe zone, facing team challenges, solving problems under pressure and making moral choices—while discovering how Roman soldiers once held the line. There are regular stops to soak in the views.

The experience ends at our “safe zone” with a drink (on us), a themed quiz and prizes.

Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends or as a family (ages 13+), this is a fresh, inclusive way to experience Hadrian’s Wall. All activities are optional and no survival skills, apocalypse knowledge or high fitness levels required.

Book now and walk away with stories, laughs and a highlight reel to share.

What To Expect

Cawfields Quarry – Survival Begins: Your journey kicks off at the striking Cawfields Quarry, where sheer volcanic rock meets the rugged line of Hadrian’s Wall.

Cawfields Roman Wall

Hadrian’s Wall Path – Hole Gap to Turret 41B: Follow your guide through Hole Gap and onto one of the most iconic stretches of the Hadrian’s Wall Path, passing ancient milecastles and turrets along the way. As you head toward the designated ‘safe zone,’ the survival scenario begins—placing you in the heart of an unfolding apocalyptic challenge. Work as a team to complete hands-on tasks that test your ability to navigate without GPS, make contact with other survivors, and build a signal before time runs out. Along the route, your guide will blend the fictional with the historical, drawing parallels between your survival mission and how Roman soldiers once patrolled, communicated, and held the line on this distant edge of empire. Activity Level: Easy to Moderate – around 1 mile with regular stops, one steeper climb via stone steps, and some uneven terrain.
