Marrows and Murder - an Interactive Murder Mystery with Afternoon Tea

Please arrive at 2:30pm for a 3pm start

Following the success of our previous Murder Mystery Afternoon Tea events, The Allerton Players and the Northallerton Mowbray Rotary Club will be joining together for a follow up. This time the scenario for “Marrows and Murder” has been prepared by the Allerton Players own award winning playwright Deborah Hugill.

The annual village show in Thirldale is in full swing. Everyone is enjoying themselves until tragedy strikes when the judge of the fruit and vegetable competitions is brutally murdered, just after the winner of the Best Vegetable Marrow is announced.

If you’ve played Cluedo or watched Poirot, it’s now your turn to be a part of the action! After our actors have set the scene it will be time for us all to have afternoon tea whilst we ponder the clues, question the suspects and take our decision on “whodunnit” and why?

Based on our previous events we are sure there will be lots of amusing takes on the answer – and a prize awaits the person nearest to getting it right.

Afternoon Tea is included in your ticket price. There will be a raffle and a chance to buy pre-loved crime and mystery books. All proceeds from the event will go to Hambleton Foodshare.

For catering purposes we need everyone to buy their tickets in advance. If you would like to sit together please book your seats together as one transaction.
