Saturday 24th August 2019

Our popular Murder Mystery evening is back! We have a new storyline each year so it is perfect for newcomers and those who have found out who dunnit before.

Local amateur dramatics group, The Wirksworth Immersion Theatre Society (TWITS), are putting on their first ever Murder Mystery on a train! Aptly named, ‘Clueless’, the show is based on characters from the popular board game, ‘Cluedo’. But when a character really does stop breathing, perhaps somebody may have gone a step too far with their method acting! Do you have what it takes to work out ‘whodunnit’ before you are their next victim?

The evening will include:

• A professionally acted Murder Mystery on board the train by Laugh Out Loud Theatre
• Return journey between Wirksworth and Duffield at 19:00
• Fish and chip supper at Duffield
• Bar trolley on the train

Friday 25th October 2019

By popular demand, we have added a second Ghosts in the Valley event to the calendar. Starting our journey at Wirksworth, ride on one of our heritage trains and take in the sights and sounds of the valley by night. As we pause at the stations along the line, professional ghost hunters Haunted Heritage will tell the historical stories of the area and see if there is any paranormal activity present. Will anything be found?

This unusual evening can be enjoyed by believers and sceptics alike but is not recommended for persons under 16 years of age.
