About

Selected dates between Saturday 28 November - Saturday 19 December 2026, 6pm
National Justice Museum
£62.50 per person

It's December of 1953, and you've been invited to a Christmas murder mystery dinner at the Shire Hall, which will be performed by the Broadmarsh Players AmDram Society*.

A shortage of actors has meant that some of the behind-the-scenes staff have had to join the principal actors for the show to go on!

This classic detective game has everyone dressed in their character colours, but as the plot unfolds, it seems the actors may be hiding more than meets the eye, behind their fictional roles.

This immersive event puts the audience at the centre of the murder case. Can you uncover the truth by interviewing the suspects, examining the clues and playing detective to crack the unsolved murder case from their past?

Will the actors' true colours be revealed, or will they continue to get away with murder?

*Not a real amateur dramatics society.

Tickets
£62.50 per person including:

* Three-course Christmas meal
* Arrival cocktail or mocktail
* Immersive murder mystery event in our historic courtroom and gaol
