Yes, our schedule for 2021 is now set. We have three major events lined up for your enjoyment!
Murder Mystery Walks are back for 2021 with our first performance set for 21 July! Further performances will be 28th July, 3rd. 11th and 17th August.
Each walk will start promptly at 7pm.
Travel back in time and join our period costumed characters on a twilight walk in the shadow of the spectacular ruins of Corfe Castle. Due to the popularity of these walks and for obvious safety reasons numbers are restricted so book early!
The Anarchy, 1141, the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda. Local Barons take advantage of the situation and change sides to suit their interests. Into this time of distrust and political intrigue comes Edgar De Redvers to track down and put a stop to Simony – the sale of fake Holy Relics. He is to continue his investigations with three lunchtime companions on an evening stroll. Who knows what secrets and plots are simmering beneath the tranquil surface of the beautiful Dorset countryside, just waiting to ferment & erupt into a chain of events leading to MURDER!
A whodunit where you expect the unexpected!
