A festive murder mystery night where guests solve a whodunnit with no acting required, featuring a welcome drink and a food van.
The Portsmouth Distillery Co is hosting its first festive murder mystery night on Friday 13 November, from 6:30pm to 11pm. It's the distillery's debut in the format, so it's a first for them. The premise is a classic whodunnit: you follow the clues and dig into hidden motives to figure out who committed the crime. There's no acting required on your part, so you can just stick to the detective work.
The organisers describe it as a festive evening of mystery, suspense and seasonal surprises, and they've summed it up as 'Festive Cheer... with a side of murder!' They're encouraging everyone to turn up in their Christmas jumpers, which fits the mood. The setting adds to it too: the distillery is based at Fort Cumberland, so you're playing detective inside a fort.
It's an over-18s night, and there's a food van on site run by The Hungry Hog, so you can grab something to eat while you work through the clues. Parking is free.
