I WANT TO DO THIS.
Prepare yourself for the three most horrifying words in the English language: Reading shopping centre.
Bone chilling stuff, I think you’ll agree. We've prepared a bespoke, abandoned shopping centre in Reading, sprinkled to the gills with maniacal ZOMBIES lusting for your tender brains.
We know you want to combat them until they cannot be combated anymore. And now you have the chance.
What happens on the day?
In this spectacular ‘full immersion’ experience, you’ll be briefed and armed by the Police Special Zombie Bashing Unit. They’ll fill you in on the full, unfolding, undead apocalypse that is going down in Reading town. An apocalypse that, for once, you didn’t cause, but will have to try and fix.
Then you’ll hit the spooky, deserted shopping mall, but you won’t be shopping for that lovely little Pashmina you saw in Littlewoods. Instead, you and your team will be depleting the zombie population with full Bronson-style perspicacity. Using state of the art special effects and large, blood-inducing props you’ll tackle a series of computer game like missions in a full-on 'run and gun' gore fest.
It’s like your favourite Zombie movie come to life! Remember that hilarious undead rom-com ‘I Eat On Your Face’? How many times have you watched that? Too many. And now, you won’t just be lying on your filthy futon watching it, you’ll be acting it out with a gaggle of like-minded lunatics. You and your hardy group of zombie annihilators tracking the living dead up and down the mean escalators of this mall of doom.
If, like me, you hate things that shuffle (old people, zombies, card sharks) then don’t miss out on this incredible full immersion zombie battering experience at The Mall, Reading.
FAQ

It's in Reading, Berkshire, 25 minutes or so by train from London Paddington station. You can also reach the experience by car (the postcode is RG1 1NR).

In short: we don't know yet. The venue - a disused shopping centre in Reading - is due for demolition. We'll be taking bookings for as long as we are able to, but may have to withdraw this experience from sale at short notice. Please book ASAP to avoid disappointment - when it's gone it's gone!

Are there any extra costs on the day?
No, none at all. Everything you need to battle zombies is included. Any extras (like video recordings) are completely optional, and won't effect your odds of surviving the zombie apocalypse.
What weapons will we use and what happens?
During the first session you’ll meet with a team of Police firearm specialists who will provide you with airsoft weapons and give you basic training on how to use them to stay alive! During this 2-2.5 hour movie-like session you’ll be part of a story which unfolds in real time. You and your group will then take on the zombies in a “run and gun” battle. The experience will not just about shooting zombies - ammunition will be limited with only a few opportunities to refuel As a survivor you will speed, steady nerves and smart thinking if you’re to make it out alive!
What should I wear?
Please bring suitable clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting dirty.
Do I need to be fit? Will I get hurt?

This experience involves live action horror and gore and as is therefore not suitable for anyone of a nervous disposition.
The zombies may jump on you, murmur ‘brains’ and hold you down, but not in a manner whereby you will get hurt. There is no fighting or violence. Not on our watch.
Is it suitable for children?
The minimum age to take part is 16 years old.
Is there somewhere to get food & drink?
Zombie fighting is hard work. Tea, coffee, water and snack bars are included in the price.
