Mather & Co conjures up magic of Downton Abbey in exhibition

Cheshire-based design consultancy Mather & Co – the company behind visitor attractions like Coronation Street: The Tour – has created Downton Abbey: The Exhibition dedicated to the smash hit period drama.

It has opened to the public at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, the new global exhibition created for NBCUniversal International Studios and in partnership with Imagine Exhibitions, offering visitors the first-ever fully immersive experience into the world of the global television phenomenon, Downton Abbey.

The exhibition will tour venues across the world including the US and will take visitors on an extraordinary journey through the grand home of Downton Abbey.

Peering into the world of the Crawleys and those that waited on them, the experience will also provide a fascinating look at all aspects of the post-Edwardian period in which the multi award-winning and critically-acclaimed TV series is set.

Working with the award winning production team behind the TV series, Wilmslow-based Mather & Co has designed a fully immersive experience – visitors will even come close to the show’s official costumes, worn by the likes of Michelle Doherty and Hugh Bonneville, as well as viewing never-before-seen content.

Chris Mather, chief executive, Mather & Co, said: “This is certainly one of the highest profile projects we’ve ever been asked to work on – but we have excellent experience of taking a national institution like Coronation Street and turning it into an extremely successful visitor attraction.

“Downton has been a global phenomenon and the visitor experience we’ve designed will not disappoint fans of the show.”
