About this event

  • 4 hours

It is 1928. You have been invited to the grand home of Lord Lionel Latterley and his wife, Lady Louisa, to celebrate his Lordship’s latest business success. What tensions exist above and below stairs? What secrets are kept behind the doors of Mounton Abbey?

Set around a delicious 3-course meal, interrogate the suspects, review the evidence, and work out who is our murderer for the chance to win a prize and be crowned the evening's top sleuth.

Price includes welcome drink, 3-course meal and murder mystery entertainment.

Organised by

We can be flexible to fit with your needs, but typically a murder mystery dinner follows the format below. The majority of the action and questioning takes place between courses, with certain evidence and some scenarios taking place during the courses. You can be as interactive with the Inspector and suspects are you are comfortable with - give them a good grilling, or just sit back and watch the investigation unfold.

  • Suspects arrive and meet the guests in the bar/meeting point prior to dinner.
  • Arrival of the Inspector, announcement of the murder, first clues and the interrogation begins.
  • Starter
  • Suspects are questioned further as more evidence becomes known.
  • Main Course
  • The plot thickens and red herrings abound as twists are revealed and the suspects are further questioned.
  • Dessert
  • A final chance to use your little grey cells to sift the guilty from the innocent.
  • Coffee, and the opportunity to put your deductions to paper.
  • The murderer – or murderers – are revealed, prizes are awarded, and justice is served!
