An Evening of Murder Mystery at Gusto Restaurant, Albert Dock

Gusto at Albert Dock is hosting a murder mystery evening on Tuesday 12 January 2027, and it's one of those nights where the food and the entertainment run side by side. The whole thing starts at 19:00, and the premise is straightforward: you're invited to spend the evening as a detective, tasked with solving a murder case that unfolds around you while you eat.

It's not a play you just sit and watch from a distance. The scenes are played out across the room, so the action happens in the space around the tables rather than on a separate stage. Between the courses, you'll be piecing together the clues and working out who's lying, with the mystery developing as the night goes on. It's a bit of a role-play evening, so you're as much a part of the story as you are a guest.

And there's a proper meal to go with it. You'll be served a five-course Italian dinner, with each course coming out as the evening progresses. The food is Italian, and the murder mystery is the entertainment that fills the gaps between the plates, so you're eating and investigating at the same time.

It's at Gusto in Albert Dock, Liverpool, on Tuesday 12 January 2027, starting at 19:00. Tickets are £45, which covers both the five courses and the mystery.
