It’s 1922. Exactly one year on from the sudden and unexplained death of local millionaire and casino owner Edward Dell his relatives are gathering at the family home to celebrate his life.

However a friendly intimate celebration seems to be far from their minds as secrets and resentments are unearthed. Will everyone survive the weekend or will death once again rear its ugly head?

DRESS:

The Murder Mystery Weekend is based in the 1920s. Dressing up isn’t essential but we would encourage as many people as possible to at least dress up in formal 1920s clothes for the ‘Celebration Dinner’ on the Saturday night.

ITINERARY:

How the weekend will run:

The Murder Mystery is recommended for 16+. The content can be risqué in its nature at times. At least one member of every booking must be an adult (over 18).
