Step into the shadowy world of courtly intrigue and noble unrest for an evening of scandal, scheming, and murder. Set within the dramatic surroundings of Colchester Castle, the largest Norman keep in Europe, this immersive event promises a night to remember.

The doors open at 7:30 PM, and the mystery unfolds at 8.15 PM. Please note that late entry will not be permitted.

Guests will be welcomed with a glass of fizz and light refreshments. A licensed bar will be open throughout the evening for additional purchases. Feel free to don medieval garb or simply bring your sharpest detective instincts – you’ll need them.

This is an 18+ standing event with limited seating. Please contact the Castle in advance if you require seating during the event.
