Murder Mystery Breaks

Price £399

The solving of fictional murders has always been a source of intrigue, not least since the first outing of Sherlock Holmes in the late 19th century.

Deductive reasoning has become an important skill for those with an interest in solving the elusive 'perfect murder' and a murder mystery weekend is the perfect opportunity to play the detective and try to work out whodunit.

With the entire weekend's entertainment provided by the cast, who will stage a murder for the guests to solve, there won't be a dull moment, especially with a criminal to catch. In order to work out who had the means, motive and opportunity to commit such a crime it is vital that everyone keeps their eyes and ears open for clues and make sure that everyone's stories add up.

A two night stay offers plenty of time to examine the evidence, size up the suspects and try to whittle down the potential killers until the case is cracked, and with more than 10 locations to choose from you can find your perfect break.
