Murder Behind the Curtain

About

Tuesday 15 December 2026 | 7pm - 9pm
Nottingham Central Library
Tickets: £10

A body is found backstage - can you work out whodunnit?

Take a trip back to the 1930s to solve this cold case! A body has been found dead in the theatre ahead of the Christmas show, but can you figure out whodunnit?

Join crime novelist and interactive mystery host Jo Middleton for an evening of clues, suspects and amateur sleuthing. Working in teams, you'll examine evidence, uncover secrets, investigate rivalries and piece together the events leading up to the murder. No acting required – just bring your powers of deduction and a willingness to suspect absolutely everyone.

Whether you're a devoted golden age mystery fan or simply enjoy an unusual night out, this is a fun, relaxed and highly interactive event where every clue matters and every suspect has something to hide.

Bring your own team of 2-6 people.

Doors open at 6.30pm
