‘The Million Pound Murder’ Mystery Evening: 23rd December 2026

Step back into the glamour and scandal of the 1970s for an unforgettable evening of intrigue, deception, and dark secrets. Join us for 'The Million Pound Murder' mystery evening in Cornwall.

‘The Million Pound Murder’ Mystery Evening

On Wednesday 23rd December, join us in the opulent setting of The Alverton’s Great Hall for an unforgettable murder mystery evening in Cornwall.

Fallen screen idol Tracey Monroe is plotting her grand return to the spotlight – but not without stirring up trouble. In a bold bid for revenge against those who abandoned her, she has written a tell-all novel, Friendly Secrets, packed with scandalous tales of wild parties, illicit affairs, and the hidden lives of the rich and powerful. And tonight… everyone who should be worried is on the guest list.

As Tracey hosts her ‘special party’, tensions rise among her illustrious guests. A government cabinet minister, a notorious London crime boss, the owner of a scandalous establishment, a beloved TV personality, and a powerful agency owner all have one thing in common – secrets worth a fortune. With blackmail in the air and reputations on the line, the question is… how far will Tracey go to reclaim her fame?

And more importantly – will she get away with it?

What to expect

On Wednesday 23rd December, join us at 6pm and be greeted with arrival drinks on our own show-stopping tower. At 6.30pm, take your seats on shared tables with your fellow detectives, before the murder mystery evening commences. For £65 per person, enjoy a lavish four-course dinner, listen to the clues, and see if you can solve the mystery.

There are limited tickets available, so don’t miss out. To book, please email our Events team at [email protected].
