Have you got the super-sleuth skills to find clues and solve a murder? The detective persona to interrogate the suspects? The judge and jury deliberation to identify the killer? All on a moving train? The murder mystery evenings on the East Lancashire Railway (ELR) are the perfect way to enjoy delicious food and an evening of murder, puzzles, questioning and solving the ultimate whodunnit on the run up to Halloween.
Provided by the award winning After Dark Entertainment, the murder mystery nights on the ELR are sure to fill you full of suspense and intrigue whilst being steam hauled through the beautiful Irwell Valley.
Expect a sparkling welcome drink upon boarding and a sumptuous three course meal followed by coffee and after dinner chocolate. With your own personal waiter/waitress for the evening you can relax knowing every aspect of your experience will be catered for to the highest standards.
The evening commences at 6:45pm where you will be checked in and directed to the opening scene with a prompt start time of 7:00pm. You will be advised of your table number and carriage when checking in. The journey lasts just under three hours with a return time of 10:15pm where you will then find out who committed that dastardly deed and who ultimately solved the case with the highest score, winning the trophy.
