The Flamingo Club Murder Mystery Evening: 24th October 2025
Join us in our Great Hall on 24th October for a deadly dinner party.
Our Murder mystery evening
On 24th October, join us for a night of intrigue, suspense, mystery and, of course, murder in the opulent setting of our Great Hall.
Arrive at 6pm in your 1920s finest and enjoy a welcome tipple before taking your seats. The famous Murder by Appointment will then give you clues and scenarios to help you discover who committed a heinous crime.
What to expect
The Flamingo Club in uptown Chicago is recognised as being one of the most successful nightclubs in the city. Owned by Tony Lupino, it is much favoured by the ‘Flapper’ set of the period, together with the wealthy of Chicago, and is a local business much sought after by the powerful Chicago ‘mob’ and its leader Johnny Torrio.
Due to the effects of the Wall Street crash, Tony finds himself in financial difficulty and pressure is put on with some business deals he arranged in recent years and other personal issues raise their head. It would also appear that the ‘Mob’ have entered the arena intent on a take-over. Can Tony survive both financially and otherwise? Will he survive the evening?
Watch the mystery and threats unfold before your very eyes and when a body is found, see if you can work out who the murderer might be?
What's included?
At £65 per person, your ticket is your invite to the dinner party and includes an arrival drink, a four-course dinner and entertainment. The immersive show will be performed by Murder by Appointment – the longest established murder mystery company in the west of England.
