Murder Mystery Supper

by | Aug 22, 2025

Three fearless actors will enact a sinisterly silly scenario involving motives, alibis, and a suspicious number of monocles.

Guests form teams to solve the case — with bonus points awarded for flair and panache. The winning sleuths receive a prize so dazzling we can’t legally describe it without sunglasses.

Expect razor-sharp wit, reckless accusations, suspicious canapés, and a prize for whichever team cracks the case without causing a full-scale diplomatic incident.

A night of murder, mayhem, and mild hysteria! Ticket price includes food from Ye Olde Spud Shoppe. Bring your own drinks.

Advance booking only: Tickets available from www.hailshamfestival.co.uk
