Poirot's Pocket Full of Poison: M**der Mystery Night with Dinner

While visiting an old friend in Norfolk, Hercule Poirot’s famous “little grey cells” are called into action to unravel a most perplexing case of M**der.

A blackmail plot, a renowned judge, and a dose of deadly poison all seem impossible to connect…but can Belgium’s finest detective identify the culprit, and the source of the poison, before the killer strikes again?

Step into a world inspired by Agatha Christie, the undisputed Queen of Crime, whose ingenious mysteries and unforgettable characters have captivated audiences for more than a century.

At the centre of this intrigue stands her most meticulous creation, Hercule Poirot, the fastidious Belgian sleuth whose razor-sharp intellect, immaculate moustache, and obsession with order have solved some of literature’s most baffling crimes.
