You’ll need Sherlock Holmes-style detection skills because there’s been a murder! One of you is guilty.

You’ll have your own private dining room — and between courses of a delicious 3-course dinner, our fully-costumed detective quizzes `the suspects’. Watch out for clues because later, you’ll take a guess at the culprit.

Whodunnit? As a murder mystery Christmas party guest, you can choose to play one of the suspects — so who knows? It could be you!

The action takes place at the luxurious Hilton Leeds City, so there are no worries about getting there and back. The public transport links couldn’t be better.

What to expect at the Murder Mystery Party in Leeds

As you enjoy a complimentary glass of Prosecco and all-inclusive drinks in a private dining room, our fully-costumed detective enters to break the dramatic news.

There’s been a murder and the killer is sitting at your table. Which one of you is guilty?

Ahead of the party, some of you will have volunteered as suspects. We’ll have already supplied some info — their character, a dastardly motive, an alibi and a plot-twisting secret.

Between courses, our brilliant detective questions the suspects. Listen carefully because there’s a prize if you uncover the culprit. The detective reveals the murderer over coffee.

The all-inclusive drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed and a murder has been solved. Relax and chat in your dining room…or join other guests on the dance floor. A live party band is performing some of the most danceable tunes on the planet.

Meanwhile, professional croupiers are presiding over the casino tables, handing out chips and sharing tips on how to play.  And don’t forget to visit the glitter bar where professional face painters can add extra sparkle to your evening.

"We booked the Sherlock Holmes murder mystery with West End Events and were super happy with it. We had quite a few extra requests and changes which all went ahead smoothly, and both the actors and organizers were super friendly and helpful even on the day. I can't recommend it enough for your Christmas party!"

FAQs

Do you have any questions? We’ve answered some of the most common questions below. If yours isn’t there, don’t worry. Just call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll provide the answer.

About the event

Which group size can you cater for?

The minimum size of your group is 20 people. The maximum is 40 people.

Who plays the suspects?

Ahead of the event, we’ll ask between 8 and 12 of your guests to volunteer as `suspects’. We’ll send each suspect a short information sheet with their character, motive, an alibi and a fact which only they know.

If you don’t fancy being a suspect yourself, don’t worry. There’s plenty of sleuthing fun to be had.

Is this a shared or exclusive event?

It’s both. Your 3-course dinner and murder mystery entertainment take place in your own private dining room.

The private dining room remains yours all evening — and you can join other guests at the after-party. Celebrate your sleuthing success on the dance floor, try your luck at the casino tables, visit the glitter bar or take unlimited trips to the photo booth.

Are drinks included in the price?

Yes. Your All-inclusive Standard ticket includes unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks.

For £30 +VAT per person, you can upgrade to All-inclusive Plus.  This gives you unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks — plus 6 single spirits (with or without mixers), or glasses of Prosecco.

With both options, all-inclusive drinks are served from 8pm until 12.30am.

Is there a dress code? 

No. We want you to have a good time, so you can wear whatever you want — although many of our murder mystery guests love dressing up for this event.

Before the evening, the `suspects’ will have received key information about their character. If they like, they can dress the part.

Detectives can be `undercover’ in party clothes, or you can go full Sherlock Holmes with a deerstalker hat, magnifying glass and classic suit.

The menu

Will the hotel cater for different dietary requirements? 

Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so that each person is catered for appropriately.

The only exception to this is Kosher food. This cannot be prepared at the hotel. It comes via a separate caterer and incurs an additional charge. Call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll talk you through it.

Booking and admin

How much is the deposit? And when is it due?

To secure your booking, we’ll need a deposit of £50 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks (42 days) before the event.

Can I add additional guests later?

We’ll be as flexible as possible. Please let us know about any changes before 1st November and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Provided there is availability, we can add to your booking — although please bear in mind, we can’t guarantee this.

If you want to add guests, contact us on 020 7183 3821 or email [email protected]. We’ll let you straight away if there’s availability. If there’s enough space for additional guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.

The Venue

Is there disabled access?

All our hotels have disabled access.

Is there parking near the hotel?

Trinity Leeds and Sovereign Square car parks are both a 5-minute walk away.

For more parking locations, visit Parkopedia.

What about public transport?

It’s easy to get there and back. The hotel is less than 2 minutes away from Leeds Central Rail Station, and it’s on most of the bus routes through the city.

Is there a cloakroom? Will I be able to leave my suitcase there?

Yes, the cloakrooms at all our party locations are free. If you have larger luggage items, the hotel also has a free concierge service. Leave your luggage with them and they’ll look after it securely while you’re at the event.

Can I stay at the hotel?

Yes, although you will need to arrange the booking. Unfortunately, we’re unable to do this for you. We’ve provided a link to the hotel website below:
