Interactive spoken-word event in which investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas guides the audience as a jury to cast its own verdict on the White House Farm murders.
Mark Williams-Thomas brings Guilty or Not Guilty? Jeremy Bamber - The White House Farm Murders to The Fire Station on Thursday 28 January 2027. It's part of the venue's spoken word programme, and it's recommended for ages 14 and over.
If you've never come across the case, the White House Farm murders are one of the most infamous and debated in British criminal history. In 1985, Jeremy Bamber was convicted of killing five members of his family, and nearly forty years on, the case is still a flashpoint for fierce discussion, new claims and ongoing scrutiny. Williams-Thomas is an investigative journalist and criminologist who's spent a lot of time on it, including direct communication with Bamber himself, and he'll be walking the audience through the details.
The show is an interactive live event, and that's where it differs from a standard talk. You don't just sit and listen; you take on the role of a jury. Guided by Williams-Thomas's insight, the audience is invited to cast its own verdict: Guilty or Not Guilty? It's the kind of night that works best if you're the sort of person who likes to weigh up the evidence and argue the points, rather than just hearing a story told to you.
