Test your crime-solving skills over a delicious 3-course dinner. You’ll be in your own private dining room at The Edwardian, the luxury 5-star hotel in central Manchester.
A fully costumed detective quizzes the suspects between courses — and after dinner, you’ll try to guess whodunnit. You can choose to play one of the suspects — so who knows? The murderer could be you!
As you chat with your fellow guests over a complimentary glass of pre-dinner Prosecco, our fully-costumed detective enters your private dining room to break the dramatic news.
There’s been a murder! The killer is sitting at your table. Which one of you is responsible for this foul deed?
Dinner and all-inclusive drinks are served — and between courses, our detective questions the suspects. Listen out for clues. There’s a prize if you uncover the culprit. Over coffee, the murderer is finally revealed.
After dinner, you can relax in your dining room… or (hey, it’s Christmas!) join the other guests on the dance floor to celebrate your sleuthing skills.
As well as irresistible dance music, you’ll find casino tables with free just-for-fun casino chips and a glitter bar with professional face painters.

Having said that, we love it when our guests dress up. If you’re a `suspect’, you’ll have received key info about your character ahead of time, so feel free to dress the part.
Everyone else, the `detectives’ can be undercover in party clothes, or you can go full Sherlock Holmes with a deerstalker hat, magnifying glass and classic suit.
Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks are included in the ticket price.
Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks — plus 5 tokens, each redeemable for a glass of Prosecco or single spirits (with or without mixers).

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.
We can accommodate virtually any group size. There are various dining rooms available so your party can be as few as 10, or as large as 40.
Ahead of the event, we’ll ask between 8 and 12 of you to volunteer as `suspects’. We’ll send them an 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.
It’s both. The 3-course dinner and murder mystery entertainment takes place in your own private dining room.
After dinner, the private dining room remains yours. Or you can join fellow guests in the shared event space where there will be a live party band, casino tables and glitter bar.
Yes. Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks are included in your ticket price. They’re served from 8pm until 12.30am.
Want to upgrade to a premium ticket? For an additional £25 you get 5 tokens, each redeemable for a glass of Prosecco or single spirits, with or without mixers.

If you’ve volunteered as a `suspect’ you’ll have received key information about your character ahead of the party night. Feel free to 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.
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.
To secure your booking, we’ll need a deposit of £45 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks (42 days) before the event.
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]. If there’s enough space for additional guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.
