drama, intrigue, laughter and excitement...

Firebird Events invite you to an unforgettable evening of drama, intrigue, laughter and excitement. Usually unfolding over dinner; your guests will be the key witnesses to a murder and must attempt to discover the guilty party!

Using top West End actors and a brilliant script – we offer an entire evening’s entertainment that is perfectly suited to any event. The entertainment begins during pre-dinner drinks, as our colourful characters welcome guests; allowing them to get acquainted with everyone involved.

Foul murder takes place during a pre-dinner speech and guests are separated into teams to work together and solve the crime.  Hilarious short scenes are enacted over dinner as suspects are interviewed and guests have the opportunity to interact with the suspects to help them form their conclusions.

At the end of the evening the teams present their findings before our investigator reveals the real killer and the motive.  Order is restored, a winning team is announced, and prizes are awarded.

The plot… ‘Murder at Lovelace Manor’. A classic 1920’s mystery in which you and your guests have been invited to a charity evening at the home of Lord and Lady Lovelace. The evening takes a turn for the worse as a murder is committed and the suspects are brought forward. Using your powers of deduction, you must analyse the evidence needed to bring any dirty secrets and sordid lies to the fore and bring the culprit to justice!
