Owners Mike and Ruth Curtis of Rushden Escape Rooms proudly accepted the NNBN 2025 Northamptonshire Tourism Award, sponsored by The Chester House Estate. The award was presented during the NNBN Awards Ceremony at the Hilton Hotel, Northampton, on 10 October 2025.
Shortlisted alongside the historic Grade II Listed Wicksteed Park, the win came as an unexpected but delightful surprise for Mike and Ruth. Having taken over the business during a period of financial difficulty, the couple have successfully transformed it into Northamptonshire's largest escape room complex.
