AN escape room event with a twist will take place at Highcliffe Castle on April 26.

A student events team from the Arts University Bournemouth have organised the event, called the Highcliffe Collection, and tickets are now available.

Instead of breaking out of an escape room, participants will attempt to break in to the castle in a bid to steal a collection of art.

Teams of four to six will work against the clock but must be careful not to be caught by security.

The event will raise money for the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals charity, which funds treatment, equipment and research at two specialist heart and lung hospitals.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start and tickets cost £15, to include a welcome drink.
