The Christmas Murder Mystery

Step into world of intrigue and festive excitement

  • Departing: Friday Evenings
  • £115.00 Per Person

Step into world of intrigue and festive excitement with our First-Class Christmas Murder Mystery Dining Train – ‘Ding Dong Merrily Die’. Enjoy a delicious 4-course meal, inclusive of Tea, Coffee and Mince pies, paired together with the excitement of cracking a mysterious case. Unleash your inner Sherlock on this unforgettable dining experience!

It’s Christmas time once again in the village and Lord Saleeping is expected at the station to greet his guests off the train. There is much festive excitement as he is about to announce the recipients of his Christmas Charity Fund. But someone isn’t feeling too charitable this year, as one of your fellow guests has a fatal gift to bestow – but who? Could it be His Lordship’s niece, Holly Berry who has brought him more than a little festive cheer of late? Perhaps Parson Snows has been too busy checking on the needy of the village? And why is housekeeper Mrs Borbulls obsessed with dusting off her trimmings? Assisted by Detective Inspector Bauls, can you whittle down the suspects to reveal the truth before the Christmas pudding arrives? The decision is yours in this festive murder mystery.

Our Christmas train departs from Loughborough Central at 7:30 PM and returns at approximately 10:00 PM (Please arrive by 6:45pm, in time for the opening scene)

Only £115.00 per person, Tables of Two and Four available in our First-Class Dining Carriages.
