Murder Mystery

You're enjoying the company of your fellow guests over a splendid dinner...
suddenly a blood curdling scream rends the night air. A dastardly murder has been committed... The police are racing to the scene... Your murder weekend has begun.

Joy Swift's original murder weekendsCelebrating 25 years of brilliant Murder Weekends, Joy has been awarded an MBE for the huge boost to tourism she has achieved. Joy's idea has been imitated worldwide - but never bettered.

You'll find a welcoming atmosphere at the Friday night cocktail party, where you'll meet your fellow guests and the cast who remain in character the whole weekend. By Saturday morning a Murder Incident Room will be set up. The weekend progresses with more murders and more clues to unravel and on Sunday morning your Chief Inspector will summarise the case. Will you will have solved the murders and won the coveted Super Sleuth Award?
