OTHERWORLD is proud to present: New Frontiers, a series of groundbreaking new expeditions to the unmapped verges of virtual reality.
Wander an infinitely expanding network of newly created worlds, home to unmissable stories and experiences spanning the arts, science, history and beyond, all from the comfort of our inimitable multi-sensory Immersion Pods.
In partnership with some of the world’s leading studios, discover the best of Virtual Reality beyond gaming, and unveil the magic of 6DOF and 360° film in stunning high-definition, enhanced by the pairing of our unique 4D technology with state-of-the-art commercial-grade VR headsets.
For our first instalment, experience the wonders of the Natural World with the definitive icon of British Broadcasting; David Attenborough, as we journey from the Earth To The Skies.
Exclusively at OTHERWORLD locations, this three part epic anthology premieres on the 30th of January for a limited time only.

Stay tuned to hear about the next instalment, or book in to our gaming experience; The Island Here
Once you've returned to base reality, feel free to take a seat in our futuristic lounge, unwind and order a drink from our delicious range of beers, wines, cocktails & softs
For those who explored our Virtual Island, make sure you stick around after your VR session to check out the pictures from your experience and receive your DreamCoin - OTHERWORLD's virtual currency.
The better you play, the more you experience, the more DreamCoin you earn. This currency can then be spent at the bar on real-world drinks and snacks!
Credited to and stored on your profile, your DreamCoin accumulates over time, so if you don't spend it on your first visit, you can build your fortune and spend it on your tenth!
So make sure to shoot as many zombies as possible; there are pints at stake!
Our prices vary depending on your chosen experience as well as the date, time, and session length you select. The cheapest sessions are generally at off-peak times, while Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays typically cost more.

Please note some experiences will have different runtimes - refer to your booking confirmation for details.
We try our best to accommodate late arrivals but if you arrive past your booked time then it's possible your session will be shortened or even missed.
We recommend arriving in good time before your booking time to allow for a full induction, and to get you started on time.
For those with New Frontier tickets, much like the cinema, your chosen experience will begin at the time stated on your booking. Arriving late may mean missing a portion of it.
You can let the venue know of your lateness by using the "I'm Running Late" button accessed through the "Cancel / Modify" link found at the top of your confirmation email.
Please note that this does not guarantee that we'll be able to give you your full time, but will do our best to make any adjustments.

Our prices vary throughout the week. If your booking is moved to a date with a different price there could be an additional charge or a partial refund.
The fastest way to reschedule your booking is to cancel your original booking using the "Cancel / Reduce" link at the top of your confirmation email and rebook for your desired slot. This ensures you secure the session you want.
If you don't have an urgent need to change your departure date or you're you're having problems, you can email us at contact@other.world and the team will get back to you as soon as they can.
When your group arrives at OTHERWORLD, you will be greeted by one of our Allies, who will log your arrival and ensure everyone’s DreamPort is set up. This will act as your profile, allowing you to customise your avatar and earn DreamCoin, as well as give you all the necessary info about your journey!
When it's time to depart, each member of your party will enter their own 'Immersion Room', complete with dynamic heat, wind and rumble effects to ensure that you feel every blast, bullet and bass drop!
Depending on which venue you book into, up to 18 guests can play at the same time. Larger groups will be divided and travel to the OTHERWORLD in turns, allowing the rest of your party to enjoy the psychedelic light-show, and relax with some drinks in our futuristic Departure Lounge.
Please note: The above refers to those who have booked in for our Island experience. Those with tickets to other experiences will not be required to set up a DreamPort or Avatar.
The experience is great for groups of any size!
Once you enter your immersion rooms, you'll be able to see and hear your partner in the form of a virtual avatar - as if they were right next to you!
You will then be free to explore the OTHERWORLD together and choose from our selection of Multiplayer games, or split up and go on solo adventures.
Not to worry though, you'll still be able to talk to each other throughout your entire journey, even if you do different things!

Accessibility
Anyone visiting in the capacity of a carer can visit the venue free of charge and be on hand for their dependent.

Our virtual reality headsets leave enough room for most glasses to be worn underneath.
One of our hosts will be happy to adjust your headset for the best fit.
The experience is accessible if you are pregnant.
Please be aware that virtual reality can be disorientating. Some of the games in the OTHERWORLD are more intense than others, so we generally recommend taking it easy, especially if you haven't tried VR before.
Please feel free to ask our staff for recommendations on which experiences will be most suitable!
If you're still unsure that VR is suitable for you, we recommend seeking the advice of a doctor before visiting.
