Murder at Danson House!
Saturday 20th November 2011
7pm for a champagne reception, carriages at 11pm.
£50 per person
After the success of last year’s Murder Mystery at Danson House we will be hosting one again this November.
Be transported back to the 1920s for a mystery, where a shocking, dastardly deed unfolds before you.
Become a super sleuth who’s fully involved in the investigation or sit back and relax as others do the work during an exclusive three course meal served in the beautiful Georgian Dining Room.
The morals of the 1920s are not all that they might be, for jealousy, greed and disregard for human life span the generations. You, and the rest of the Raymond-Burrell family, have gathered to listen to local solicitor, Timothy Walter, read the last will and testament of the late head of the family, Charles Raglan Cardigan Raymond-Burrell. All eagerly await news of the bequest. By the end of the evening, however, the chief beneficiary lies in a pool of blood. Are they the most recent victim of the infamous Raymond-Burrell curse, or are there more sinister motives afoot?
Dress code: Lounge suit or come in 1920s costume to add to the atmosphere!
Tickets include: the champagne reception, three course meal (see menu below) and white wine and juice on the table.
Menu:
Starter: Mediterranean vegetable tart.
Main Course: Chicken fillet in a creamy tarragon and grape sauce, with seasonable vegetables.
(or Mushroom Stroganoff served with wild rice and seasonal vegetables [v]).
Dessert: Lemon cheesecake with brandy snap crisps and fresh cream.
