DFL’s Murder at the Manor Mystery Dinner

Join DFL for a Agatha Christie inspired 1930’s ‘MURDER AT THE MANOR’ themed murder mystery in a fully interactive, live-action murder mystery that runs throughout the evening, right before your eyes. Get in the spirit and dress up to fit the theme!

It is Christmas Eve 1939 and the English Cotswold beauty spot Pokeingham-Softly-on-the-Wold is celebrating the life of elderly heiress Rose Stimper, who had made the quiet village her home for almost seventy years.  Miss Stimper, in an act of philanthropy, has bequeathed the Village a large sum of money and left instructions that the villagers must decide how best to spend it.

A public meeting has been arranged and the village is buzzing with excitement.  

This will be a Christmas Party like no other. Everyone seems to have ideas on how to spend the money and the entire village turns out to attend the meeting at Pokeingham Hall, which has been thrown open for the first time in many years to host the event.

The theme this year is Murder at the Manor - Lord and Lady Pokeingham are all set to welcome you into their home for this festive evening, but beware, all is not as it seems.  There are dark forces at work in Pokeingham-Softly-on-the-Wold…

The murder and intrigue is paired with a catered buffet dinner by Incognito Catering included in the ticket price!
