Overview

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.
