Christmas Mystery Night
Thursday 3 December 2026, 7pm - 8.30pm.
Calling all investigators: we need your help to solve a dastardly crime committed at the Library Christmas Fete.
The Christmas Fete was a smashing success, and managed to raise a substantial sum of money. However, when the volunteers went to check the lockbox, the money was all gone!
You and your team of investigators will have to follow clues and solve interactive puzzles to find the culprit and help recover the funds before the night is over.
Come as a group of four or join a team on the night. Bring your own refreshments.
And take home a prize from our spectacular Christmas lucky dip!
Tickets available for £5 on Eventbrite. Please purchase one ticket per person, not per team. Suitable for adults.
