Oh Come All Ye Dreadful: A Festive Murder Mystery

This Christmas, travel back to the gritty streets of 1930s Narrow Marsh, Nottingham, and find yourself deep within the notorious underworld of The Boon Gang.

What seems like an ordinary Christmas gathering at the Shire Hall quickly turns into a deadly game of survival when you discover your boss, Boon, is locked away in prison, framed for the murder of a rival gang member.

As a trusted member of The Boon Gang, your mission is clear: uncover who set up Boon before the truth spills out - and before the cells beneath the courts begin to fill up with even more of your own. Betrayal, power struggles, and dangerous secrets are all on the line. Can you crack the case before time runs out?

This immersive experience will have you navigating treacherous alliances, uncovering hidden motives, and working fast to solve the murder before everything you know unravels.

Your Evening

Arrive 6.00pm to 6.45pm for a complimentary cocktail. Doors close promptly 6.45pm

You will then be ushered into our grand courtroom for the murder mystery event. Something unexpected has happened and you must tour the museum, looking for clues. You will interview suspects in different locations to track down the murderer.

Your Christmas meal is served from 8.15pm.

You can mull over the crime throughout dinner to complete your sleuth pack. This is handed in before the big ‘whodunnit reveal’ in our courtroom.

The evening concludes at approximately 10.30pm.
