Step into a night of mystery, suspense and theatrical fun this Halloween at The Boathouse.
Join us on Saturday, 24 October 2026 for Hammer's House of Horror, a 1970's murder mystery experience brought to life by Big Adventures Murder Mystery Company.
Set on the eerie night of 31 October 1975, guests are invited to a haunted mansion for the launch of a new horror novel. But the evening takes a dark turn when literary agent Paige Turner is found dead. With every guest holding an alibi, the question remains… was this murder, or something supernatural?

Doors open at 6.30pm, giving you time to settle in before the mystery unfolds.
