Dover Castle presented an exciting challenge to create an engaging visitor attraction within the walls of the original casemates of the castle. The Dover Siege Experience needed to tell the story of the only siege to happen there between the French and English during the First Barons War. It had to present a sense of play and discovery whilst being housed in the challenging environment of the original casemates and connect out to the wider experience.
The final idea was to create an immersive 3D story for the visitor to discover. This included setting the scene, being introduced to key characters such as King John and William Marshall, an immersive battle AV with a cross bow interactive and the chance to discover the final outcome and how it shaped the future of Dover Castle.
