Like Batman to the Bat-Signal, the Going Out team have been alerted of another exciting activity you can experience in London and Manchester this year. Whether it’s a limited time theatre show, such as Kiss Me, Kate, an uplifting tour, like Ben Fogle’s Wild tour, or a viral immersive experience like The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks, if it’s an activity worth knowing about, you’ll hear it from us. Next up on the agenda is the Batman Unmasked immersive exhibition.

You might remember the Batman Unmasked exhibition from the London pop-up last year; the experience landed in London from the 15th to 17th September 2023. Now, the experience is back with a vengeance for 2024 — just in time for the 85th anniversary of DC’s Batman.

The Batman Unmasked immersive exhibition is penned as the UK’s most comprehensive Batman showcase to grace our superhero-loving selves, with plenty of costumes, props, and vehicles on display which span the Caped Crusader’s cinematic history.

With more artefacts than Robin can say ‘Holy!’ at, the Batman Unmasked exhibition has gadgets, costumes, set props, and vehicles from 1989’s Batman through to Robert Pattinson’s 2022 Batman, including Batcycles from The Dark Knight and props which were used by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, Ben Affleck, and more.

If you’re a fan of the Glasgow Smiling villain, there’s also Joaquin Phoenix’s suit from Joker, as well as Heath Ledger’s infamous nurse’s uniform. Plus, for the very first time in the UK, you can see Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr Freeze suit up close.

There are also professional photo opportunities to capture every moment. Make sure you visit the comic book and gaming area before grabbing a final memento from the range of exclusive 85th Anniversary merch and classic Batman items from the retail store.

Wondering what to do in London this weekend? Our guide is sure to find the perfect activity for you. 

Where is the Batman Unmasked exhibition?

The Batman Unmasked exhibition is coming to a venue near you in London and Manchester.

If you’re planning on visiting the Caped Crusader’s exhibition in London, you’ll need to head to 45 Wellington Street, which is easy to get from Leicester Square underground station (for Northern and Piccadilly lines).

If you’re based or travelling up north, you’ll need to visit Depot Mayfield at 11 Baring Street, which is an eight-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly station.

Why so serious? Don’t you know a Batman Unmasked event is coming to London? Albeit, for a limited time only.

The Batman Unmasked Manchester exhibition is coming to the northern city from 16th July 2024, and the Batman Unmasked London exhibition will be in the Big Smoke from 6th September 2024. Although there isn’t an end date for the immersive experiences on the website, we assume the Manchester exhibition will finish in time to be transported to London.

Experience site Fever is no stranger to a unique activity — just take a look at the best UK candlelight concerts it has on offer.
