Strictly Murder: Death in the Drawing Room
Sunday 21st June, 2pm
www.theallendale.org/murder

There are just 10 tickets left for this popular interactive murder mystery, which puts you in the centre of the action as you assist Detective Inspector Foote of the Yard to catch the killer... the perfect event for a detective dad this Father's Day.

It is 10th May 1921, and Astbury House plays host to an elegant gathering. Guests sip drinks beneath the watchful eye of Sir Reginald Astbury, patriarch of the family and master of the estate. But behind the grandeur of the drawing room lies a household steeped in resentment, secrets, and long buried grief. When tragedy strikes, suspicion falls on those closest to him - each with motive enough to see the old tyrant silenced.

Ticket price includes a 2-course meal of steak and ale pie with mashed potato and seasonal veg, followed by fruit crumble with custard. Vegetarian options are available.
