EmailVery few know that In 1816, Mary Shelley wrote much of the world’s first science fiction novel, Frankenstein, while living in Bath.
Extending over four atmospheric floors, Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein is an award winning, multi-sensory visitor attraction where visitors will be immersed in Shelley’s unconventional tragic life and the lasting legacy of her infamous creation.
Bursting with unusual artefacts, ominous soundtracks, bespoke smells and special effects, we also present an 8ft animatronic breathing creature, authentically reproduced for the first time exactly as Mary Shelley described.
Our House also features two rooms dedicated to popular culture, an intimate screening room, a Frankenstein-themed Escape Room and, for the braver visitor, a thrilling horror walkthrough experience in the basement.

a fascinating, creepy and creative look into Mary Shelley’s life and Frankenstein. Just wish I had been brave enough to venture into the basement but it was too loud in there for me

The whole experience was super fun and was made even better by the amazing staff and actors. We also did the escape room which, again, was great. For our first time in an escape room we did pretty well although we didn’t escape. And go to the basement at your peril.

Very interesting to learn of Shelly's tragic life and how the story developed. The creature was a fabulous surprise will avoid any spoilers. Also interesting how the creature developed and was portrayed in Hollywood and TV
