MURDER AT THE MANOR - MURDER MYSTERY DINNER
THURSDAY DECEMBER 11
Enter the village of Pokeingham-Softly-on-the-Wold in this classic murder mystery dinner experience. Meet crime writer Jonathon Mapletree and a cast of suspicious characters as you solve this quintessentially British mystery.
It is 1929 and this English Cotswold beauty spot is celebrating the life of elderly heiress Rose Stimper, who, in an act of philanthropy, has bequeathed the village a large sum of money and left instructions that the villagers must decide how best to spend it.
This will be a party like no other. Everyone has ideas on how to spend the money and the entire village turns out to attend Pokeingham Hall, which has been thrown open for the first time in many years to host the event.
But beware, all is not as it seems. There are dark forces at work…
Enjoy a delicious three-course dinner as you question the suspects, decipher the clues and work to crack the case. And remember where there’s a will, there’s a murder!
You are invited to dress in the style of the period as you work together to solve the mystery.
BOOKING YOUR PLACE AT A TABLE:
You will be seated around tables of 10. If it is likely that friends will be coming along too, it is best to book all your places at the same time to ensure you are all on the same table.

Meg Washington
Natural Beauty Tour
Thursday April 9th 2026, 8pm.
Meg Washington is a platinum-selling, award-winning, and genre-defying singer-songwriter who fluently weaves the worlds of jazz, pop, folk and musical theatre together.
At the heart of Meg’s latest album “GEM”, is this tour's namesake “Natural Beauty” - a concept that stemmed from challenging the role of an artist in society, and bringing her own world of truth and beauty to the surface.
“It took a long time to write. It’s the only piano song on the album, and is written as a sort of list of various complaints I have about being an artist inside a capitalistic world. I never imagined I would use ‘superannuation’ as a lyric, but the songs always find a way to startle me”.
On her Natural Beauty Tour, Meg brings her unforgettable show to an extensive list of some of Australia’s most beautiful and remote locations.
Solo, Meg’s shows are an intimate, captivating spell. Alone at the piano, the soaring melodies and lyrical poetry of her songwriting are laid bare, as Meg makes her way through a selection of songs from her impressive five-album catalog. Each night is truly unique, with a setlist often chosen according to the special, connected moment that is shared between artist and audience.
After reminding fans and media nationwide why they fell in love with his songs and antics on his widely successful Awake Is The New Sleep 20th Anniversary Tour, Ben Lee is back with a string of 40 regional dates in 2026. “Being out on the road just for the sake of it is what it’s all about” he says “anniversaries are nice, but the road is where it happens. Night after night, sweaty, a little chaotic, unpredictable. Hand to hand combat”. He winks. See you out on the road!
