Morecambe’s classy Midland Hotel – used in the past for location work for ITV’s Poirot – plays host to a Murder Mystery on Friday 22nd January, performed by the After Dark Theatre Company while you enjoy a candlelit 3 course meal.

The mystery theme continues on Saturday night with a Masked Dinner Dance and entertainment for the Midland’s resident High Society Jazz Band.

Guests will have their first opportunity to identify any suspicious looking characters during a cocktail reception. They will then move on to the famous Eric Gill Suite and help find the murderer during a candlelit three-course dinner, during which they will be able to question the likely suspects.

The following evening, the mystery theme will continue with a 3-course dinner and a masked ball, with entertainment provided by the High Society Jazz Band.

“We’re all really looking forward to the Murder Mystery Weekend,” commented Matt Stanaway, the Manager of the Midland Hotel, “and we really hope that as many aspiring detectives as possible come along to join in the fun.”
