Tickets for “trip of a lifetime” to Wake The Tiger’s mind-bending expansion, the OUTERverse, go on sale today

A year in the making, Wake The Tiger will open its new expanded OUTERverse one month today, on Friday 2 February. Those with a resolution to explore and adventure further than ever before can book a ticket to the bucket list destination of the year from midday today (9am early bird) at wakethetiger.com. This ticket will grant a voyage into the OUTERverse, transcending reality to a dimension beyond imagination.

Wake The Tiger’s out-of-this-world expansion has added an extra 1,000 sqm of walk-though fantasy to the current experience. A labyrinth of exploration for both the young and young at heart, 15 new spaces will challenge perceptions from the 2nd of next month. Creating a soul-searching experience, the OUTERverse will take visitors on a limit-pushing voyage where adventure is not just a destination, but a state of mind.

Visitors should prepare for a multitude of captivating spaces from the moment they transcend to the OUTERverse. This ‘transcendence’ takes place in the Astral Tour Lounge, where voyagers will no longer find themselves in the dystopian world of Meridia, but instead, The Astral Tour Lounge: a futuristic airport lounge that radiates a feeling of a “cosmic retrofuture”. Followed by The Void; a new-for-2024 interactive particle environment that invites detachment from passengers' usual feelings and sensory perceptions, and is where the real journey begins. 

The epicentre of the OUTERverse, Aetheria, promotes personal discovery. A giant head, aglow with projection mapping, visitors are invited to relax and explore multiple layers appealing to their curiosity and creativity. Celestial, immersive, cosmic and spiritual, visitors should expect to explore the spaces, before bracing themself for an exhilarating descent back to Earth 2.0 with a seven metre high twisting and turning slide descent back to reality.

The OUTERverse plays home to a selection of unique creative installations, including a segment from an actual plane, a cosmic kitchen and various nostalgic childhood toys. Throughout the adventure, passengers can also pause for a moment of tranquillity in a chamber inspired by the natural beauty of crystals and have their minds well and truly dazzled in a sea of black and white stripes.

Having cemented itself as a leading attraction in the UK and showcasing the best of Bristol’s cultural and creative talent, Wake The Tiger’s new offering - which builds on the current Dream Factory experience - wholeheartedly showcases the skills of the city’s makers and creators. As per the experience pre-expansion, the OUTERverse has, where possible, aimed to incorporate salvaged and recycled materials into the design of the spaces. 

Graham MacVoy, Managing Director at Wake The Tiger, said: “We are counting down the days until we launch! We’re so proud of what we have achieved over the past 18 months, and this expansion is a natural progression for us here at Wake The Tiger. When you have so much creativity and talent all working together under one roof, you have to focus that energy somewhere.

“We wanted to combine connection, memories and spirituality into a journey that will blow people's minds, where every moment promises breathtaking visuals and awe-inspiring concepts beyond imagination. Our new ‘Astral Tours’ offer a unique opportunity to go on a trip into the unknown to foster a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life. Developing this second stage has been a wonderful process. Words can’t describe what to expect, so Bristol is just going to have to come and see it for themselves…one month to go!” 

Attracting almost 300,000 visitors since launching in July 2022, the award-winning journey of self-discovery is a must-visit for solo-travellers, couples, friends and families. As well as an additional entirely new dimension to discover, the new year at Wake The Tiger brings monthly sensory sensitive sessions, After Hours evenings for adults-only every other Friday and more spectacular celebration events with DJs, live bands and out-of-this-world performers that are accessible for all.
