The Commandery’s escape room helped bring a new audience to engage with Worcester history, councillors heard.

The Joint Museums Committee, which has representatives from both the city and county councils, heard a report on the attraction at last month’s meeting.

Museums manager Philippa Tinsley said the escape room has been open just over a year and has had 149 bookings.

Committee papers discuss the future of the escape room and the fact it will need to be updated regularly in order to attract visitors to return.
