An Interactive Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery themed Christmas Party at Delta by Marriott Bristol City Centre

Grab your Sherlock Holmes deerstalker and prepare for a hilarious evening of sleuthing. It’s time for the Murder Mystery Christmas party.

Test your crime-solving skills over a delicious 3-course dinner with all-inclusive drinks at an exclusive central Bristol hotel - then celebrate your sleuthing success on the dance floor.

There’s a fully-costumed ‘detective’ quizzing `the suspects’ between courses. Listen for clues and study the evidence because after dinner, you’ll take a guess at the culprit. Who did it? Why? And how?

About our Murder Mystery Christmas dinner party nights

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery – While you and your guests settle down to enjoy a delicious three course Christmas dinner, news of a murder comes through and the drama unfolds. The action is fast and furious so you’ll have to be on your toes to unravel the mystery and claim your prize as the best detective. These are interactive events with guests invited to examine clues, listen to live suspect testimonies and work in teams to uncover the murderer. 

Private dining rooms – Due to the interactive nature of the murder mystery, your group will be allocated their own private dining room. This enables you to benefit from all the intimacy and privacy of your own space, whilst still gaining access to the amazing shared entertainment after dinner.

Group sizes – We require a minimum of 20 people per group at this venue, of which, 8 to 12 will play the part of suspects. Any guests above this number need not be left out though as there are plenty of jobs for willing detectives; making notes during the suspect testimonies, examining clues and trying to uncover the murderer. The maximum number of guests we can cater for is 40 in one room.

Format of the murder mystery – Ahead of your Christmas party, a number of your guests will be supplied with clues, secrets and motives which will see them suspected of committing the most horrendous of crimes. Then, on the day in question, our detective will attend the venue to quiz the suspects. The plot will unfold as each guest discovers their part in the events that resulted in a murder, finally leading to the shocking revelation that one of them is a killer!

About the after-dinner entertainment - The all-inclusive drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed and a murder has been solved. Relax and chat in your dining room… or (hey, it’s Christmas!) take to the dance floor. If you fancy trying your luck at Blackjack or roulette, the casino tables are open, complete with professional croupiers.
