A Halloween Murder Mystery Paint & Sip

Inspired by the stories of on of England’s most infamous family.

The Mystery

A prominent member of the Wickham family was found dead in the Grand Ballroom of Wickham Hall after the lights went out during the estate’s annual Halloween Ball. The same night the village gathers along the river for the Night of the Lantern Man, when locals still warn against following any glow that shouldn’t be there.

For years, locals have whispered about the estate. Strange sightings. Unexplained events. Rumours that intensified during TeaBridge’s infamous Summer of Murders, when one of the most shocking crimes in the town’s history took place inside the Hall itself.

The murders stopped. The questions never did.

Now Wickham Hall finds itself at the centre of another investigation.

Are the killings happening again?

Or is something far more sinister hiding within the walls of the estate?

This Halloween, the answers await.
