Overview
It’s 1932 Lord Jolyon Jape is hosting his annual pre-Christmas party but tonight there is an unexpected guest, a Bulgarian ballet dancer, and a body in the library.
A classic whodunit but this time the butler didn’t do it.
Spice will have their own reserved tables for you to work as a team to decide who the Murderer is on the Friday Night starting at 7.30 pm with a welcome drink followed by a 3-course Dinner followed by tea or coffee
Dress Code
This party is set in 1932 and you are Lord Jolyon Jape’s special guests, so black tie, long dresses and a touch of glamour are invited.
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 Saturday after breakfast, we will be heading into Harrogate, which is just a 5-10 minutes walk away after a robbery is revealed.
