Wonka and Bridgerton debacles have failed to dent demand for real-life experiences based on TV shows

Despite the fiasco of the Detroit Bridgerton-themed ball and last year’s infamous Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow, the demand for real-life experiences based on TV programmes is seemingly unabated, with The Traitors launching an immersive live event and the Teletubbies an art gallery show.

After the Wonka and Bridgerton debacles, consumers have been being advised to check if events are authorised by brands’ owners before they book to ensure the occasion meets expectations.
