Whodunnit: The Wedding That Went Wrong

Whodunnit; the Wedding that Went Wrong

Join us for romantic wedding at Aston Hall …however, everything will soon unravel as a joyous day turns downright murderous!

Best Guess Theatre present an event not to be missed, as the principal players in our wedding drama mingle and invite guests to become part of the tragedy.

The story begins as people arrive for the wedding – a beautiful ceremony which quickly turns lethal, before unfolding over post-ceremony refreshments in our spectacular Great Hall. As things draw to a head, you’re challenged to make accusations and reveal your theories before the murderer (or murderers!) are unmasked!

From the beginning of the day things have gone wrong. The photographer is stuck in traffic, so guests are invited to use their phones. The caterer cancelled, so a fairy-tale wedding breakfast has become a cuppa and a light bite. There is even something odd about the celebrant…

Please arrive from 2pm for a wedding spectacular starting at 2.30. After an introduction and entertainments, you will be seated in the Great Hall for a light lunch. We expect the experience to end by 5.30.

A light lunch of sandwiches, scones, and cakes to get those ‘little grey cells working' are included, and tea and coffee will be provided as part of the ticket price. A simple bar will be available for those who wish to purchase an alcoholic drink or a fancy soft drink. This is a rare opportunity to eat (and drink) inside Aston Hall, however, we do have restrictions on what we are able to serve to preserve this incredible building.

Please contact with details of any vegan (rather than vegetarian) or gluten-free needs, otherwise a range of meat-based and vegetable-based sandwiches, cakes, and scones will be provided.

Please dress to impress in your wedding finery but please be aware that stiletto heels are not permitted. Please also be aware that there may be more than one chill, as the Great Hall can be cold in February.

This event is likely to be extremely popular, so pre-booking is highly recommended. Tickets are non-refundable.

Birmingham Museums Trust is a registered charity and money raised through visiting helps us care for beautiful buildings like Aston Hall.
