🎃👻 A HALLOWEEN MYSTERY AWAITS… 👻🎃
As darkness falls and Halloween draws closer, there are some strange goings-on at Bells Hotel and Country Club, Coleford… 🕯️👀
Whispers, secrets, suspicious characters and clues lurking in the shadows — but can you piece everything together before the evening is over? 🔎
Our wonderful friends at Trust Me Maybe? are preparing a very special Halloween Murder Mystery, performed as a fundraiser for Great Oaks Hospice. 💚
Expect an evening filled with mysterious characters, suspicious alibis, eerie twists and turns, hidden clues and plenty of laughs as the story unfolds around you.
🎭🎃 AND THIS IS HALLOWEEN — SO DRESS FOR THE OCCASION!
Fancy dress is all part of the fun, so raid the costume cupboard, embrace your spooky side and come dressed to impress. Witches, ghosts, ghouls or something completely unexpected… we want to see them! 👻🧙♀️🦇
🍽️ There’s plenty to enjoy while you investigate too, with a two-course meal included in the evening. And if your team manages to crack the case, you’ll walk away with a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine! 🍷🏆
So gather your fellow detectives, embrace the Halloween spirit and prepare for an evening where nothing is quite as it seems…
📅 Friday 30th October
🎃 Follow the clues…
🕯️ Uncover the secrets…
🔎 Question the suspects…
👀 Keep your eyes on the shadows…
🕵️ And see if your team can solve the mystery!
