Maidstone, UK – Slay Bells: A Christmas Murder Mystery Dinner

The Lord and Lady of Leeds Castle warmly invite you to an evening of festive splendour, set within the enchanting surroundings of Leeds Castle.

Your experience begins with a sparkling reception before gathering with fellow guests. As anticipation builds, dinner is served in the Grand Salon, where seasonal flavours and fine company promise a truly memorable occasion.

Yet amidst the sound of Christmas cheer, a darker story begins to unfold… When the Lord of Leeds Castle is discovered murdered, the evening takes a dramatic turn. Festive merriment gives way to suspicion, and every guest becomes a potential suspect. Secrets simmer beneath the surface, every smile may hide a lie, and no one can be trusted as someone has committed a most shocking ho ho homicide. Throughout the evening, you will be drawn into a captivating murder mystery, questioning suspects, uncovering hidden motives and piecing together clues woven through whispered scandals and long-buried grudges.

Will you solve the mystery before the night draws to a close, or will the culprit escape unnoticed into the winter night?

Dress warmly, think sharply, and prepare for an unforgettable Christmas experience at Leeds Castle, where nothing is quite as it seems. For those staying overnight, you’ll retire to your room in the evening and enjoy a hearty breakfast the following morning in the Castle View Restaurant.
