The Spirit of Solstice: A Festive Murder Mystery

Winter Solstice 1922

The depths of winter have gripped Nottingham and the local charitable philanthropist from Westwood, Nottinghamshire has invited the residents of the local village to Nottingham’s Shire Hall for a festive celebration with a twist.

Prepare to gasp in delight as they present a world-renowned Spiritualist as the night's entertainment. Will they be able to connect with the spirits of the past on the darkest and shortest day of the year?

All guests are invited to be seated in the candle-lit Courtroom as the séance begins...

Join this evening of intrigue, accusations, and suspicion – complete with cocktails, dinner, and laughter.
