Hempstead House Hotel is delighted to host our next Festive Murder Mystery evening on Sunday 6th December 2026.
Discover clues. Question Suspects. Catch a Killer! Moneypenny Murder Mystery Productions returns with “A Crooked Christmas”.
Something is terribly wrong this Christmas Eve... A lavish winter wedding, a grand country house, and a gathering of well-dressed guests. But behind the candlelight and champagne lurks deception, danger, and deadly intent.
Step into a stylish 1920’s festive whodunit where secrets unravel, suspicions multiply, and nothing is as it first appears. Collect the clues, interrogate the suspects, and uncover the truth in this classic comedy Crime ’n Dine experience hosted by Moneypenny Productions.
Question everyone, Trust no one, and Find the Killer: WHO did it, HOW, and WHY?
The “murder” and subsequent investigation will take place during the dinner with the conclusion and resulting winners being revealed at the end.
