Very 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 that immerses visitors in Shelley’s tragic, unconventional life and the lasting legacy of her infamous masterpiece.
Bursting with unusual artefacts, ominous soundtracks, bespoke smells and special effects, Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein delivers an unnervingly entertaining experience.
There's even an eight-foot-tall animatronic breathing creature, authentically reproduced for the first time exactly as Mary Shelley described.
The 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.
