Maritime Murder: A Vintage Voyage Riverboat Experience

Sunday, September 8, 2024 at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

A Theatrical Riverboat Experience Inspired by Agatha Christie. Charity Fundraiser for Wallingford Family Centre

Maritime Murder: A Vintage Voyage

Step aboard for an unforgettable cruise as we set sail into a sea of mystery and suspense.

Lord Elpus has invited you aboard to celebrate his forthcoming marriage to his new bride (1920’s dress) , but not everyone is happy about the nuptials. Will his son and heir disrupt the festivities or will the rest of his family, eager for a share in his estate, stir up trouble (or something worse..?)

Gather your team and set sail for a murder mystery on the water. Will you solve the crime before we return to shore?

Experience: Join us for a 2-hour round trip departing from Wallingford, where professional actors bring to life the gripping tale inspired by the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie. As you navigate the gentle waters, unravel clues, and interact with the characters to solve the crime, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into one of Christie’s iconic novels.

Food and Drink: Enjoy treats prepared by the renowned Soph’s Loafs and a pay as you go bar, will be available on board, offering a selection of wines, spirits, beers, and soft drinks to complement your evening. Indulge in your favourite drink as you soak in the atmosphere and solve the mystery.

Suitable For: This event is perfect for mystery enthusiasts. Please note, no children under 12 years are allowed to attend.

Fundraiser: All proceeds from this event will go to support the Wigod Way Wallingford Family Centre, a local charity dedicated to providing essential services and support to families in our community. Enjoy an evening of entertainment and make a positive impact at the same time.
