A Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery themed Christmas Party at Hilton Metropole Birmingham


This Christmas, step into your very own live-action detective story with the Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Christmas Party at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. Tucked next to the NEC and a short stroll from Birmingham International Station, this all-inclusive party experience delivers suspense, comedy, and celebration 


What’s Included in the Murder Mystery Party Package?


You’ll enjoy a private dining room, a three-course Christmas dinner, and unlimited drinks. But don’t get too comfortable because just as the starters settle in, news of a murder breaks and the culprit et is in the room. 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 15 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.


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 (have you guessed what it is yet!?). 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


As if the murder mystery wasn’t enough, we’ve packed this event full of extra entertainment, it’s Christmas after all! As well as your own private dining room, after dinner you can join other guests (from other private dining rooms) on a shared dance floor where a live party band is performing some of the biggest hits and festive favourites.


What drinks are included in the Murder Mystery Package?


Included in the ticket price is a welcome drink and unlimited house wines, beers and soft drinks served 8.30pm to 12.30am.


  • Upgrade to All-Inclusive Plus for £30+VAT per person to include unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks, plus 6 single spirits (with or without mixers) or glasses of Prosecco. Served from 8pm until 12.30pm.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Party


How many people can I book the Sherlock Murder Mystery Christmas event for?
For this event, the minimum group size is 15 and the maximum is 40.

Is there an age limit to attend the Murder Mystery Christmas event?

In line with our licence, we are afraid our parties can only be attended by guests who are over 18 years old.


What drinks are included in my Murder Mystery Party Package?
Included in the ticket price is a welcome drink, and unlimited house wines, beers and soft drinks served 8.30pm - 12.30am. You can also upgrade to include spirit tokens.

What's the dress code for a Murder Mystery themed Christmas party?
There’s no dress code — although many of our murder mystery guests love dressing up for this event. Before the evening, the volunteer `suspects’ will receive key information about their character, so they can dress for the part if they like. Detectives can be `undercover’ in party clothes, or you can go full Sherlock Holmes with a deerstalker hat, magnifying glass and classic suit.

Who plays the suspects in the Murder Mystery?
Ahead of the event, we’ll ask between 8 and 12 of you to volunteer as `suspects’. We’ll send them a short information sheet with their character, motive, an alibi and a fact which only they know. If you don’t fancy being a suspect yourself, don’t worry. There’s plenty of sleuthing fun to be had.
