A Fête Worse Than Death
9 - 10 October 2026 His Majesty's Theatre, Downstairs at The Maj Buy ticketsPresented by Cluedunnit
Immerse yourself in the quaint traditions of the British countryside in this murder mystery like no other.
Join crime writer Jonathon Mapletree and a cast of suspicious characters as you attempt to crack the case and discover whodunnit!
It’s the summer of 1924, and the residents of Barking-on-the-Moor are putting the final touches to their annual village fête. The tombola has been spun, scones been dusted and homegrown parsnips polished.
To kick off celebrations, a charity dinner is being held in the ballroom of Barking Manor - with all proceeds going to St Christophers Church. The great and good of the village have come together for an evening of merriment, high spirits, and local cider by the barrel-load. Even a fortune teller is doing the rounds…but what tragic events will she forsee?
Enjoy a delicious three course dinner as you question the suspects, decipher the clues and work to crack the case… before tragedy strikes!
You are invited to dress in the style of the period, as you work together to solve the mystery.
