Whispers at the Wake: A Castle Ward Murder Mystery

Step into the shadows of Castle Ward mansion for a night of suspense and intrigue.

  • Booking essential

The air is heavy with secrets as you gather for the wake of Miss Dorothy Anderson, but the night takes a sinister turn when a shocking murder is discovered.

Can you piece together the clues, unmask the killer, and survive the mystery before it’s too late? Come dressed in your finest attire and prepare for a thrilling evening of deception, betrayal, and dark twists in the eerie grandeur of the mansion.

In partnership with Play Dead NI, come along for an interactive Murder Mystery experience where you are the investigator. Meet these unusual suspects if you dare and find out which of them committed the dreadful deed!

Enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco in the Music Hall, before meeting the suspects in the historic rooms of Castle Ward. Guests will then enjoy light bites and nibbles whilst deliberating over the evidence, before it is revealed who the murderer really is...

Prices: Adult £55.00 (Strictly over 18's) Early booking is advisable due to limited number of tickets on each night. Please park at the front of the House where you will be greeted upon arrival. Dress Code: Excess is never enough, but no stilettos please
