Gin, Jazz and Murder - Murder Mystery Evening

Step into a world of intrigue with our Gin, Jazz & Murder Mystery dinner! Hosted in the atmospheric setting of our Tipi on 8th August, this immersive evening promises a thrilling “whodunnit” that’ll keep you guessing until the very end. From the moment you arrive, the lines between reality and performance begin to blur. Our professional actors don’t just perform from a stage; they’re seated at the tables amongst you, dining as part of your group. You’ll have to keep your wits about you to figure out who’s a genuine guest and who’s a killer hiding in plain sight. The evening includes a delicious two-course meal and a fully interactive murder mystery experience set to a suave jazz soundtrack. Whether you’re a seasoned sleuth or simply looking for a Saturday night with a difference, this is a show-stopping event you won’t want to miss. Want to know more about the plot? It’s 1925 and Lady violet is throwing another of her famous soiree’s, it’s the hottest ticket in town and everyone is looking for an invite. The Gin is flowing and the Jazz is hot but does the dancing on the tables hide a dark secret. Dressing for the 1920’s is encouraged but not required. 19:00/19:15 Arrival 19:30 Event Start in our tipi

Sound Journey

Step into the atmospheric surroundings of Landguard Fort and leave the outside world at the door for a little while. Settle into a peaceful sound journey with Michelle from Edge of Sacred. This calming session offers simple moments of rest surrounded by the quiet, grounding spirit of Landguard Fort. Michelle will guide you with soft spoken cues, gentle pauses, and the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls, gong and voice — creating an experience that feels as natural and restorative as sitting by the sea. Bring a cosy blanket, get comfortable, and let the sounds drift around you like waves across the shingle. There’s nothing to learn or get right — just relax, breathe, and simply be. 50% of the proceeds of this event will go towards supporting the upkeep of Landguard Fort. Health Information Please consult your healthcare professional before attending if you are pregnant, have sound-sensitive epilepsy, a heart condition, severe sound sensitivity, or are experiencing significant mental health difficulties.
