Murder Mystery Weekends
Looking for a new spin to your next weekend away? Have you considered going off on a countryside manor house murder mystery weekend? It’s guaranteed to be a weekend getaway… with a twist! It’s the only type of tourism that has guests dying to find the solution to the mystery whodunit!
Hark back to the grand era of crime fiction and re-enact a scenario from the so-called “Golden Age” of the detective novel in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. The secluded English country house was a staple feature of these novels, yet who would have thought it could be such a hotbed of crime? Discover for yourself with a murder mystery weekend away.
Finding out your persona in advance allows you the chance to get acquainted with your character, and over champagne on the Friday evening you’ll also be able to start getting to know the other characters that play a part in the cunning plot. Over a Friday night meal and Saturday activities you’ll be able to piece together a pretty good idea of the scenario, but don’t let it all be thrown into too much turmoil with the discovery of a body some time on the Saturday. Bon appétit for Saturday evening – for you’ll be dining with a murderer in your midst! By Sunday morning breakfast, hopefully all will be revealed, with the chance to compare case theories and finally unmask the cruel killer.
But speaking of fancy dress masks, it’s even more fun to play your part in costume. Dress up according to the taste and style of your character, don a wig and voila! You’ve been instantly transformed into your character for the weekend! Let’s hope that you don’t lose your head… or turn out to be the only holding the bloody murder weapon!
Even though it’s always the season for murder in the Leg Avenue country manor, for extra chills and thrills you could even let your weekend away coincide with Halloween. Your next weekend away is bound to be a scream!
