Next week, Brunel’s SS Great Britain will be hosting an exhilarating evening of entertainment performed by 1st Call Murder Mystery amongst the captivating backdrop of the famous ship.

 

Brunel’s SS Great Britain’s Murder Mystery Evening will take place on the evening of Friday 1 September 2023.

 

With tickets covering a three-course dinner and an arrival drink as well as the murder mystery event, dinner guests must keep their eyes open for clues as they take on the role of the detective to solve a mysterious crime – prepare yourselves for a memorable evening like no other!

 

Tickets for the event are priced at £95 and can be purchased HERE.

 

 

The event’s description paints the picture of a morbid evening, transporting attendees back to the year 1937 and the sleepy village of Muchstanding-in-the-Mire. The owners of Starlight Stud Farm have tragically perished in a fire and the police are treating it as arson, but no arrests yet.

 

Amongst the inhabitants of this same sleepy village lives an extremely wealthy recluse by the name of Troy Mandrake who no one has seen in more than 30 years. However, on this particular night he has invited the villagers to a party on board his magnificent ship, the SS Great Britain.

 

It’s not just any old dinner party, Mandrake has revealed that a murderer is among them and says that if they are revealed before everyone else dies, then those remaining will get a share of £1,000,000.

 

It’s a tempting offer, but why are people being murdered in the first place? Perhaps, sometimes it is best to let sleeping dogs lie. Brunel’s SS Great Britain’s Murder Mystery Evening will take place on the evening of Friday 1 September 2023 – purchase your tickets HERE.

Designed by legendary Bristol engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the SS Great Britain was a passenger steam ship way ahead of its time that was in service between 1845 and 1886. In 1970, the SS Great Britain Project brought the ship’s rusting shell home from the Falkland Island, keeping its history alive.

 

The Victorian ship was lovingly restored and, today, it is known as Bristol’s number one visitor attraction and a leading research centre. Find out more about the attraction here.
