There’s been a murder.

No come back, it’s not another Taggart repeat. The murder in this case is strictly theatrical, and the starting point for a fabulous and engrossing Victorian murder mystery evening.

Add in a three course dinner in the opulent surroundings of the Royal Over-Seas League clubhouse on Princes Street and it’s obvious that this is a Big Deal to die for.

Or kill for.

Murder most horrid

The elegant and atmospheric surroundings of the Royal Over-Seas League clubhouse are the ideal venue for the mysterious events of Saturday 1st April.

The year is 1857 and you are summoned to celebrate a birthday.

Over an elegant three course dinner, guests will mingle with the actors playing the parts of Madeleine Smith, Pierre L’Angelier, Janet Smith, James Smith, William Minnoch and Christina Haggart, and attempt to get to the bottom of the Death by Chocolate mystery.

Dress to impress

Enjoy the sumptuous meal, but pay attention to your surroundings as a victim is chosen and your team must find the culprit. It helps if you are dressed for the part, so Victorian dress and possibly a Sherlock Holmes accessory or two are encouraged, but not necessary.

The Big Deal is for one person to enjoy a three course dinner as part of the Spirit of Glasgow Death by Chocolate murder mystery night on Saturday 1st April 2017.

Dinner might prove a tempting distraction. The killer menu starts with either smoked salmon, capers, lemon crème fraiche and watercress, or celeriac veloute, whipped mushroom butter & brioche. It is followed by either pearl barley risotto with a fricassee of spring vegetables, parsnip & root vegetable crisps with poached egg, or pot roast chicken breast, sauté mushrooms parsnip, young vegetables & light chicken broth.

Ponder the final clues over a dark chocolate delice with chocolate & almond soil and vanilla ice cream, then some tea or coffee and homemade fudge.

Murder fans

Previous Spirit of Glasgow Death By Chocolate nights have been a hit with participants. Reviews on TripAdvisor include the following comments:

‘Fabulous twist to a celebration birthday dinner at Blythswood Square hotel. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed a “dinner to die for” with the Spirit of Glasgow team… The food was delicious and the hotel staff really went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful evening. The murder mystery added something very different and great fun to the evening. Caroline and her team did a super, professional and entertaining job, making everyone feel involved and engaged in the drama. A very special evening – thank you!’

‘Murder mystery dining experience. Surprise entertainment at an informal business dinner. Hadn’t known quite what to expect – any expectations were quickly surpassed. Great plot, great acting, lots of audience participation. A fabulous evening’s entertainment enjoyed by everyone. Would definitely recommend it and would definitely do it again.’
