Did you know we are a charity? Since its opening in 1866, Shoreditch Town Hall has witnessed everything from Victorian reform and Sylvia Pankhurst’s activism, to vibrant boxing matches, and the electrifying Whirl-Y-Gigs in the 90s. Each era has left its mark on this iconic building to make it the creative venue it is today, and now it’s our turn to care for its future.

DARKFIELD head over to Shoreditch Town Hall, taking over The Ditch for a two-week run of innovative immersive experiences at the forefront of technology and theatre.
Featuring a number of their experiences in a live space for the first time, the sensory effects and 360-degree binaural sound unique to DARKFIELD's practice situates each participant at the centre of intense evolving narratives.
ARCADE is a ‘choose-your-own-path’ experience that fully immerses players in alternate environments, employing binaural sound, sensory effects and complete darkness. No two journeys through the experience will be the same.

Tickets for each show need to be booked separately. Each has an approximate run time of 30 mins, including the briefing.
Please leave at least 10 minutes between the end of one show before the start of the next, to ensure you have time to move between shows. For example, when booking a show at 7pm, please ensure your next show slot is no earlier than 7:40pm.
Pre-booking is encouraged, but tickets can be booked on the door (though may be limited).
All shows have content warnings and age ratings which can be found on their individual show pages.
The bar will be open from 5pm each weekday and from 12pm on Saturdays, until 10.30pm, welcoming everyone - even if you don't have a ticket.
Want to soak up the atmosphere of The Ditch in your own way? Bring your own board game (BYOB[oard game]!) and enjoy a relaxed evening of games, drinks, and the unique energy of DARKFIELD.
