Do you love a good Murder Mystery?

Back by popular demand is our Victorian murder mystery whodunnit, based on a real murder in Harrogate, A Potluck Supper Murder!

Join us for an evening of mystery, suspense and plenty of laughs as we bring this real-life inspired story to life.

You’ll be split into groups for the evening. Come with friends and stay together, or if you’re coming on your own, we’ll put you with a group so you can meet some new people.

You can choose to play the part of one of the characters and get involved in the story, or you can simply join your group as a detective, listening to the clues and trying to work out what really happened.

Tickets £5

Tickets must be booked in advance through TicketSource.

Murder Mystery Synopsis

The setting: Oakdale Manor, Harrogate, where a seemingly ordinary potluck supper takes a deadly turn.
Four gunshots are heard and Jacques Goyeau is found murdered. Superintendent Morley is called to the scene and gathers everyone together. As the evening unfolds, clues will be revealed, and suspicions will start to grow.

Working with your group, you’ll need to listen carefully, question what you hear and decide who you can trust. By the end of the evening, it will be down to you to work out who killed Jacques Goyeau.

Where: We’ll be in the upstairs room at The Empress on the Stray. Grab yourself a drink from downstairs (& food if you like) and head upstairs to join us.

Please note

We have previously performed this particular Murder Mystery at Starlings and The Joiners Arms, so if you came along to either of those evenings, this is the same mystery. We’ll have different ones coming up at future events.

This Murder Mystery has been written exclusively for Mini Adventures. All of the people involved in organising and running the evening are giving their time voluntarily. Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the running costs of the group, with a donation also being made to the charity Mind.
