special occasions

More and more guests are choosing our weekends to celebrate a special occasion - a milestone birthday such as a 40th, a special anniversary and even Hen parties - knowing that they will have a great weekend, with oodles of intrigue and lots of laughs.

We know from experience that there is no better way to break the ice than chatting to friends and strangers about what they've just witnessed or who said what to whom and so a weekend is perfect for a group of people who don't necessarily all know each other, but who they certainly won't be strangers for long!

With games, sleuthing and a themed party on Saturday night it is an event that will be remembered for a long time – just see the comments of some of the guests that have had parties with us.

When I was arranging my hen party a friend suggested one of your Original Murder Weekends, she had been on one and thought it would be perfect as my Mum and aunt and University friends were all meeting for the first time. It was absolutely perfect; straight away everyone had something to talk about, particularly when the 'body' died at our table! 15 women screaming at once certainly got everyone's attention! We had such a brilliant time and never stopped talking about it afterwards, even at the wedding. I'm coming at New Year with my new husband!!

After 25 years of marriage, and something like 29 years of knowing Angela, buying something different and unusual for a birthday gift can be difficult. I just cannot thank you and the team enough for the wonderful time that we both had together and with everyone else. We were both laughing from the moment we met the group at the reception until the end of the weekend. Angela and I are truly hooked. I simply cannot remember a time where I have seen Angela enjoy herself so much. So thank you for making our weekend and Angela's treat so great and especially for making this one of her most memorable birthday gifts.

Well we read the reviews and did our research before we booked, so I thought we already had high expectations, but I can honestly say we were blown away! The bug has definitely bitten and we are looking forward to making it back for the next plot this autumn. Thanks for a fantastic weekend.

It was the best weekend I have experienced for many years and I have spread the gospel far and wide. The good news is that we will be joining you again and I cannot wait! This is another birthday present from my daughter and son-in-law and if they want to do this on every birthday in the future, then I cannot think of a better present!

I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to say how much we all (the hen party) enjoyed the weekend at Beaumont House. None of us had done anything like it before and all thought it was amazing, with a capital A! We're all now raving to our friends and persuading them to go on a weekend soon - I can't put into one sentence how much fun we had! A perfect Hen Party!
 
Thanks once again! - Donna Moore, Rotherham
