An Interactive Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery themed Christmas Party at The Edwardian, Manchester


Enter the world of Sherlock Holmes for a murder mystery Christmas party at the fantastic Edwardian in Manchester. The 5-star, Grade II-listed Edwardian Hotel is one of Manchester’s most luxurious venues. It’s spacious, comfortable and full of character. Located in Manchester’s city centre, the hotel is just a couple of minutes away from St Peter’s Square tram stop. Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria are also close by.


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 & Group Sizes

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.


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!

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.

How much is the deposit to secure tickets at the Sherlock Holmes Christmas party?
To secure your booking, we’ll need a deposit of £50 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The rest of the balance is due 8 weeks before your event.

Is this a shared Christmas party or private event?
It's a private Christmas event. The 3-course dinner and murder mystery entertainment takes place in your own private dining room. After dinner, the private dining room remains yours for the rest of the evening.

What's the dress code at the 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.
