Time is running out for Londoners to embark on a chaotic journey across the stars. The acclaimed immersive theatre production of Douglas Adams' 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' is preparing for its final lift-off at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. The show will vanish into hyperspace for good after its final performance on 15 February 2026.
A Cosmic Adventure for All Ages
This unique production throws the audience directly into the action, beginning on a freshly obliterated Earth. Guests join the bewildered Arthur Dent and his alien friend Ford Prefect as they hitch a ride on a Vogon spaceship. The experience masterfully blends live theatre, comedy, and interactive storytelling, creating a truly engaging dive into Adams' beloved universe.
Fans will be guided through alien encounters and galactic bureaucracy by the perpetually gloomy Marvin the Paranoid Android, and can ponder the recipe for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The show is suitable for adults and children aged 10 and over, offering a perfect introduction for newcomers while delighting long-time devotees. It even attempts to tackle the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything.

With the production not scheduled to return to London, now is the time to secure a seat. Standard ticket prices start from £42. However, the venue has introduced several offers to make this interstellar trip more accessible.
