About
12th December 2025
6:00 pm - 12:00 am
The Claus regime is under attack and the North Pole is not what it seems.
The perfect festive façade has cracked, revealing a scandal-ridden nightmare and conditions are worsening; elves are on the picket line demanding fairer pay, a frustrated Mrs Claus is ignoring the neglected reindeer and a brewing rebellion is threatening the entire operation.
The Claus regime is under attack, and now, the tension has turned deadly.
A key union elf has been found dead. Was it a desperate act of industrial espionage? A jealous rival? Or could the evidence point to the unthinkable? Could the Big Man himself find his name on the biggest naughty list of all?
This isn’t your average holiday cheer, it’s a compelling festive murder mystery where you’ll unmask the not-so-jolly secrets buried in the snow.
Murder at the North Pole is an exclusive, adult-oriented experience that requires sharp wits, a strong stomach for scandal and a willingness to challenge authority.
As you enjoy a mouthwatering three-course meal, in one of our beautifully-restored heritage carriages, you will interrogate the suspects, sift through the clues and help save Christmas from its darkest hour.
Book your ticket now and find out who killed the union elf!
