Murder Mystery Weekend- Harrogate 4* Hotel- Murder by the Book

Due to popular demand we are running another Murder Mystery Weekend. This time set in the twenties for Murder by the Book

It’s 1926. Stanley Baldwin is Prime Minister and Agatha Christie has disappeared. Would-be writer Agatha Collins has booked a stay in the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate to finish her first crime novel but the staff are all convinced she is the other Agatha and one of the hotel guests is about to meet a murky end! This murder has been committed by the book…Agatha Collin’s book. But how has her fictional murder plot come to life?

Optional dress code: 1920’s glamour.

Spice will have their own reserved tables for you to work as a team to decide who the Murderer is on the Saturday Night starting at 7.30 pm with a welcome drink followed by a 3-course Dinner followed by tea or coffee

 What to expect on the evening – 

 You are the detectives and it’s up to you to work out whodunit as Lord Jolyon Jape welcomes everyone to the annual party.

· Talk among yourselves and share your theories 

· There will be case files on the tables with evidence and information for you to look at before the evening’s mystery begins 

· There are clues inside to be opened after each performance when directed 

· There is notepaper inside the case files and pens will be on the table too 

· There will be three performances around you as you enjoy your three-course meal 

· After each performance you will have a chance to question the suspects 

· Only the killer is allowed to lie but sometimes you may need to ask your question twice or in a different way to get the answer you need 

· Be prepared for loud and unexpected noises—this is a murder mystery after all! 

On Sunday after breakfast, we will be heading into Harrogate, which is just a 5-10 minutes walk away for our Treasure Hunt to find who is the Murderer . This plot is set around a wealthy family and a will. See if your team can win the hunt to find out who is the Sweet Murdered?
