Arthur always likes to throw a lavish party and hand round gifts to all his staff but tonight is an extra special night! Arthur intends to make an announcement that may cause an almighty shock!

Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel and Clarkes Restaurant makes every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies. Every effort is made to instruct our food production staff on the severity of food allergies. However, there is always a risk of contamination. There is also a possibility that manufacturers of the commercial foods we use could change the formulation at any time, without notice. Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of this risk.
Please note that parties of less than 10 will be seated with other parties due to the format of the event. Please do not change the seating arrangements. The characters do not carry evidence on their person or in their pockets or handbags. The actors are here to provide the best possible entertainment and cannot do so if there is excessive heckling or noise. Please be considerate to other guests.

What to Expect from your Evening:
- All character roles in our murder mysteries are played by a cast of professional actors.
- Your role during the event is to act as an investigator - questioning the suspects, watching the incidents, and, perhaps, discovering bodies! Guests are not required to act nor to be put into teams.
- The action will unfold around you and you will have the opportunity to interrogate all the suspects. You are also encouraged to freely roam the restaurant and to talk to characters as often as you wish.
- The event will be continuous throughout. Be careful you don't miss anything!
- Evidence will be displayed for you to study.
- Please note that you may find yourself seated with guests from other parties and there will almost certainly be a character from the cast on your table.
- Large groups may be required to be split amongst two tables and a character involved in the cast may be required to sit with you.
How to Participate:
- Bring a note pad and a pen with you to jot down everything you hear.
- Interrogate the suspects. They may have something to hide.
- Listen carefully to what the suspects are saying to each other.
- Read the evidence that is displayed.
- Watch for any hidden facial expression that may give away a guilty secret.
- Be suspicious and trust your instincts.
- Above all, stay alert and keep your eyes and ears open. Trust no one. The person sitting next to you may be a murderer.
