Eddy Hackett, co-founder and executive producer of The Lost Estate, is the driving force behind one of the UK’s most innovative and influential immersive entertainment companies.
Founded in 2017 by Hackett and two fellow classical musicians, The Lost Estate (TLE) has become a leading experiential hospitality company in the UK, turning iconic artworks into immersive, story-led experiences that blend top-tier performances, extraordinary settings, and high-end hospitality.
Hackett’s contribution stands out because TLE is entirely bootstrapped and self-funded—a profitable, artist-led startup that operates without outside investment.
Guided by his creative and strategic vision, the company has hosted over 200,000 guests through 14 experiences, including notable productions such as 58th Street, Paradise Under the Stars, and The Great Christmas Feast.
All shows are fully conceived, developed, and produced in-house, with TLE maintaining full creative and operational control over its venues in West Kensington and Peckham.
Hackett’s ambitious vision has not only resulted in critically acclaimed, genre-defining works but also cultivated a dedicated and enthusiastic audience.
