Crime Club: Unsolved Murders of the 1930s
In our next instalment of Crime Club, we step back in time to 1930s England - an era of tension, secrets, and sensational headlines.
Our Head Historic Interpreter will explore two infamous murder cases that shocked the nation - “The Blazing Car Murder” and the “Brighton Trunk Murders”. Despite the involvement of pioneering forensic scientist Sir Bernard Spilsbury and the use of cutting-edge forensic techniques of the time, both cases contain unanswered questions.
Join us as we delve into the archives, revisit the investigations, and unravel the mysteries that continue to fascinate criminologists, historians, and true crime enthusiasts alike.
Real crimes. Real stories. Real evidence.
Join us for the latest instalment of Crime Club on Thursday 29 January, a chance to discover more about infamous crime cases from history. Free drink included!
Tickets £15.50 full price/£14.50 concessions* – Booking essential.
This event is suitable for over 18's only, proof of I.D. may be required. Please be aware that some of the material covered may be sensitive in nature.
