Murder Mystery: Carry on up the Tiber

Ancient Rome, 54AD, and the Emperor Claudius has issues.

His third wife has been suspiciously quick to agree to a divorce, his mistress is a little too close to her ghastly son, his chief eunuch is behaving very strangely, and the Senate appear determined to thwart him at every turn … Thus begins a murderous comedy of politics, plumbing, and peanuts.

Set within the dramatic surroundings of Colchester Castle, the largest Norman keep in Europe, this immersive event promises a night to remember.Guests will be welcomed with a glass of fizz and light nibbles.

A licensed bar will be open throughout the evening for additional purchases.
