About this Event

A Very Violent Valentines: Unsolved

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Love can be deadly… Especially when no one has a clue.

In February 2026, Strange Britain’s going on tour with a true crime night like no other. Storyteller Adrian Finney delves into some of the most baffling unsolved crimes of all time.

There’s the story of an infamous M**der that was never solved, allegations of a serial killer said to be still stalking Britain’s streets, plus other unsolved crimes that refuse to stay buried.

And as a special treat each event will feature a short, local, story unique to that city.

Expect razor-sharp storytelling, chilling twists, and just enough wicked laughter to keep your heart beating — assuming someone doesn’t steal it first.

It’s a great mix of history & true crime, all laced with Adrian’s trademark dark humour.

Whether you’re bringing your Valentine, your friends, or just your own morbid curiosity, this is one night you don’t want to miss!

A Very Violent Valentines: Unsolved — because nothing says “romance” like a curious cold case.

Join me for an unforgettable evening that's equal parts shocking and entertaining!
