Phileas Fogg’s World of Adventures is based in Hollingbury, Brighton.
Phileas Fogg’s World of Adventures in Brighton has chosen to support Rockinghorse as its charity partner.
Based in Hollingbury, the top family attraction has marked its first-year anniversary and pledged to support our charity by helping us to raise vital funds.
As part of the partnership, a donation from every ticket sold for any of the attractions on offer at Phileas Fogg’s will be gifted to Rockinghorse. In addition, a donation from the total cost of all corporate bookings and Christmas parties with also be given to our charity.
Through our fundraising, we aim to make life better for sick and disadvantaged babies, children and young people in Brighton and across Sussex. We raise money for life-saving and cutting-edge medical equipment, as well as funding equipment and services to ensure that children are treated in an environment better suited to their needs.
Launched in September 2018, Phileas Fogg’s World of Adventures is Brighton’s immersive team game attraction. Visitors can experience skill, mystery and mental games in 16 amazingly authentic 1900’s sets. The attraction also plays host to the Jack the Ripper Walk of Terror.

Visiting the Alex
Phileas Fogg’s Directors, Graham and Debbie Owen, were joined by their Ambassador, Jack “The Lad” Hayes, for a visit to the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton (the Alex) on Tuesday 10 September.
They were joined by Rockinghorse CEO, Ryan Heal, and our Corporate Fundraising Manager, Terrina Barnes, along with Amy Farmer, the Alex’s Play Team Manager. During the visit, we showed them first-hand how the funds that they raise during the partnership, will have a direct impact on poorly youngsters in Sussex.
Debbie Owen, Phileas Fogg’s Managing Director, says, “We love the work that Rockinghorse children’s charity do. It has such a positive impact on the children and their families, so we are really proud to know that we will be supporting them as they continue to deliver this amazing service across Brighton and Sussex.”
Jack “The Lad” Hayes, Ambassador for Phileas Fogg’s, adds, “During my years a host of the Heart FM Breakfast Show, I had the pleasure of working with and helping Rockinghorse on many occasions. They, along with the fabulous team at the Royal Alex, do just the most amazing work.
“To be able to introduce them to Debbie and Graham at Phileas Fogg’s – a venue I am so passionate about – and help them build a relationship and partnership moving forward, is a tremendous feeling. I am very excited to see what this partnership brings to both amazing parties.”
