New For 2026!

Electric Dreams
Break out the denim jackets, neon leg warmers and punk-rock hairstyles as we transport you back to the electric atmosphere of the mid-1980’s.

The nation is celebrating, emerging from the shadow of the miner’s strike and looking ahead to a brighter future. Spirits are high and so are the shoulder pads, as legendary band Electric Echoes announce their long-awaited nationwide reunion tour after a 10-year absence.

But as the celebrations begin and old bandmates reunite, tensions simmer beneath the surface. At a time meant for nostalgia and new beginnings, will buried grudges and past rivalries steal the spotlight? 

Enjoy a delicious festive dinner whilst becoming part of the investigation in this fully immersive, laughter-filled murder mystery experience. Fancy dress is optional but highly encouraged - the bigger the hair, the better! 

Will you crack the case before the final curtain call?

Silent Night, Deadly Night
Celebrate the season with a festive evening of food, fun and fatal intrigue… 

Join us as we host the glittering finale of a nationwide competition to compose a brand-new Christmas carol - set to be broadcast for the very first time during the King’s Christmas message.

The finalists have gathered in eager anticipation, each hoping their composition will capture the nation’s heart. But behind the festive smiles and sparkling outfits lie ambition, rivalry and long-held secrets. As tensions rise and festive spirits flow, who will stop at nothing to ensure they are crowned the winner? 

With scandal simmering beneath the surface, will this silent night become somebody’s deadly night? 

Enjoy a delicious three-course festive dinner whilst immersing yourself in this interactive murder mystery experience. Question the suspects, gather the clues and work with your table to uncover the culprit.
