What happens?

 

You will arrive at your hotel, check in, and be welcomed to a cocktail reception at 8pm. Amid the clink of glasses and hubbub of greetings and introductions, you have your first opportunity of establishing who are the characters and who are your crime-solving companions. A sumptuous three course dinner follows with 'themed entertainment'.


  



After breakfast on Saturday, the Police will set up an incident room, where vital evidence will be exhibited, and this will remain open for the rest of the weekend. However, you will be free in the morning to enjoy the surrounding area or you may prefer to pursue your enquiries. But even if you meet the actors at the local shops, you can still question them as they will stay in character all weekend.

 

On Saturday night, there will be a themed party with dinner, dancing ... and death!



On Sunday morning, after breakfast, everyone is gathered together by the Police, who explain the motives of the suspects, point out key clues, and, ultimately, reveal the murderer. How good will your sleuthing have been? Will you have disentangled the red herrings from the truth? Will you have the correct solution and win the coveted S.W.I.F.T.
(Sleuthing With Intellectual Flair and Tenacity ) Award?



The weekend officially ends at 12.00 noon but most guests do stay longer - not wanting to leave and break the spell! It is a weekend you will always remember - so take a stab at it!
During the evening, a murder will be committed. The Police will arrive and begin their investigations. This is when you become a sleuth. You will have the advantage over the police, as you have already met and got to know the main suspects.

After lunch, there will be more themed games and many more opportunities to interrogate the suspects, witness devilish deeds and ghastly goings-on!
