Calling all budding detectives! Challenge the whole family to crack the Stansted Murder Mystery.
Kick off the evening with lashings of tea, biscuits, and ginger beer as you meet the suspects.

Finally, you will all assemble in the Servants Hall to voice your theories and see if you caught the culprit!
