    Murder Mystery Dinner

    Fall is just around the corner…and it got us thinking…It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little dress up, and a little mystery, right?

Your sleuthing skills will be put to the test as you work through the evenings events, and identify the main suspects. You’ll have the chance to examine clues and mingle with other dinner party guests to deduce the culprit as you dine on an incredible multi-course dinner, created by Chef Thomas Lents.

    The theme of the evening will be Old Hollywood, so please come dressed to impress. Solve the mystery while looking like a 1930’s hollywood movie star. Get your tickets here.
