We’re incredibly excited to announce that work has officially begun on The Escapologist York!
After months of planning, our brand-new entertainment venue in the heart of York city centre is finally starting to take shape.
Opening in November 2026 at 29 Swinegate, The Escapologist York will bring a whole new range of things to do in York under one roof.
So, what are we building?
There’ll be something for everyone, including:
Immersive escape rooms - Three (to begin with...) exciting adventures where teamwork, puzzles and a little bit of bravery are essential
EscaPOOL - Our unique take on pool, featuring obstacle-filled tables and crazy golf style challenges
Interactive Darts - Forget traditional darts! Expect digital games, automatic scoring and plenty of friendly competition
Steampunk bar & restaurant - A stylish space to relax, grab a drink and soak up the Escapologist atmosphere
Whether you're planning a date night, birthday, group activity or simply looking for something different to do in York, we’re creating a venue designed to make your visit memorable.
The countdown is on…
There’s still plenty of work to do, but seeing the build begin is a huge milestone for us.
Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates, sneak peeks and reveals as the venue starts to come to life.
York, we can’t wait to welcome you.
