hop gardens in the country; rambling along the
wildlife discovery trail; and seeing the last working

The apocalypse will be upon us as Kent Life’s
familiar buildings fall into disarray, Brundle’s Big
Top is turned into a medical tent to cope with
rising numbers of casualties, and staff fight to
defend the historic houses.
You and your fellow survivors must gather at the
Registration Point to be processed before being
guided to the Safe Zone – the only way through
the outbreak. Can you survive the virus and
escape?
The Kentaminated experience, which is open to
adults aged 16+, lasts for up to 45 minutes, with
slots available between 6.30 and 9pm. All
‘survivors’ will be given a safety briefing, overalls,
and one refreshment per person (house wine,
house beer or a soft drink).
Tickets cost £15 (members £12) and
must be booked online in advance at
www.kentlife.org.uk.
