The “Rocky Horror Picture Show” Castle Is A (Antici-PATION) Hotel!

It wasn’t Academy Award material, but The Rocky Horror Picture Show, based on the West-End musical The Rocky Horror Show, was released in 1975 and is one of the first cult classic films. Fans still go to midnight screenings, with confetti, toilet paper and water pistols at the ready, nearly 45 years later…

Filmed entirely in England (in just 6 weeks!) in late 1974, the castle exterior, criminologist’s study, Brad’s room, Janet’s room, dining room, Columbia’s room, entrance hall and stairs were all filmed at a castle that, at the time, didn’t have heat or indoor plumbing. Since then, they’ve done a lot of upgrades, and the castle is now functioning as a luxury hotel. Best of all, it’s just about 20 minutes outside of London’s Heathrow Airport!

Harry Potter Fan? Here’s A B&B That’s Perfect For Wizards, Witches & Muggles, Too!

If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter  series, have we found a bed & breakfast for you!

Most rooms, although beautifully and tastefully done in Victorian Classic or Belgravia Boutique styles, are pretty typical of what you’d expect to find in an modernly redecorated building that’s looking forward to its 170th birthday pretty soon.

But they have a few rooms that are specially decorated to enchant Harry Potter fans.

A Bottomless Boozy Disney Brunch With A Sing-Along? Sign Me Up!

The Aeronaut was a popular watering hole that, unfortunately, burned down in early 2017. Thankfully, no one was hurt. But thanks to the General Manager who promised to rebuild and was good to his word, the pub was rebuilt, back up and running by late November of the same year.

Already well known for its wide variety of entertainment including circuses and cabaret shows, the Aeronaut has decided to expand its themed Saturday Bottomless Brunch by having different entertainers ever week. And for 5 of those weeks, the brunch is called When You Wish Upon A Brunch. I think you can see where I’m going with this…
