Murder and Mulled Wine at University College on Sunday 11 December 2022

On Sunday December 11, 2022, we will be hosting Murder and Mulled Wine, a Murder Mystery Dinner in the Great Hall. The perfect opportunity for a Christmas party, gathering of friends or couples outing, be sure to secure your seats as soon as possible as spaces are limited. 

*****

Across a three-course meal a team from Tall Tales will immerse you in the plot - play along and solve the crime.

The Scene

You are invited to Lord Jolyon Jape's splendid Christmas party. The year is 1932 and this will be a night to remember. But there is an unexpected guest, a Bulgarian ballet dancer and a body in the library!

It's time to turn detective and solve the case of Murder & Mulled Wine...if you can.
