About

Thursday 3 December 2026 | 7:00pm (Show commences 7:30pm)
Kelham Hall
£60 per person (includes 3 course dinner and entertainment)
 
Kelham Hall are thrilled to unveil their immersive festive dining experience, a glitter‑drenched, laugh-out-loud, interactive Murder Mystery spectacular: A Death at Christmas Number 1!, performed by the brilliant team at Fancy Entertainment.
It is Christmas Eve, 1981, and filming has just wrapped on the Top of the Plops Christmas Special. Excitement fills the studio as performers gather for the official wrap party on set, each desperate to claim the coveted Christmas Top Plop Number 1 spot.
But the festive cheer is overshadowed by fierce rivalry, bruised egos, and months of behind‑the‑scenes tension. Every act wants the top spot, and tonight, that announcement will finally be made.
As the music stars toast to the end of filming, rumours swirl, jealousies flare, and scandal brews beneath the tinsel...
Will this be a night of celebration, or will the Christmas chart war end in murder?``
 
What Awaits You:
✨ A hilarious, fully interactive live Murder Mystery
Character interrogations, shocking twists, and festive drama
An immersive 80's setting bursting with nostalgia
️ Your chance to help crack the case and uncover the killer
80's fancy dress is highly encouraged! Think big hair, sequins, shoulder pads, glam rock, neon, and festive retro flair.
Audience: Ages 16+ (not suitable for sensitive or nervous dispositions)
Parties of fewer than 10 may be seated with other groups. If booking separately but wishing to be seated together, please email: events@renaissance-kelham.com
