Travel in style with the Murder Mystery Dining Experience
The year is 1953. Signalman Harry Godfrey has been found dead in his Signal box at Tenterden — and the killer may be sitting just a few carriages away. DCI Thomas needs your help to untangle the web of lies and secrets before the murderer escapes down the line. As the train steams through the Kent and East Sussex countryside, you and your fellow passengers will study evidence, question the suspects, and piece together the truth. Is it greed, jealousy, blackmail, or betrayal that drove someone to murder? DCI Thomas will set the scene for the evening as you arrive at the station from 6pm, and the train of intrigue will depart Tenterden Station at 7 o'clock sharp! At journey’s end, you’ll cast your verdict. Will you uncover the real culprit… or let the killer walk free? The train arrives back in Tenterden at approximately 9.45pm
There's a glass of Prosecco or fruit juice to set the scene from 6.15pm, then board the train for a delicious two-course meal of locally produced 'Korkers' pork sausages (or vegetarian equivalent) & fluffy mash with rich onion gravy, rounded off with a hearty apple crumble and custard - all cooked onboard the train and served to you at your seat! Tea or coffee is included, whilst a drinks trolley service offering soft and alcoholic beverages to purchase will also be available.
