Murder Mystery Experience

Visitors are invited to indulge with a murder scenario and play the detective’s role in order to solve the mystery.

This mysterious crime took place in the early 1970’s at the Lumley Castle. The victim was Lord Marcus Lumley, the aristocratic but impoverished owner of Lumley Castle, who was found dead. Apparently he had a heart attack, although a recent checkup showed that his health was fine. 

A hint for solving the mystery is that Lord Lumley spent his last evening accompanied by his wife, a family friend and a clairvoyant that he had invited to the castle. 

Everyone questions if his death was related to natural causes or one of his companions committed the crime.

The Menu

  • First course: Northumbrian vegetable broth
  • Second course: Chicken supreme wrapped in bacon with a rich port wine sauce; mushroom and Stilton Cheese en Croute (V) in a Provencal sauce; a selection of seasonal vegetables
  • Third course: profiteroles served with a rich chocolate sauce; freshly brewed coffee with confectionery

A set menu and vegetarian option are available but visitors must call or send an email to the Lumley Castle Hotel to ensure that their request is logged.
