To enter the shark-infested waters of the Court of Byzantium is to risk a poisoned chalice or a knife in the back — but ’tis riskier far to offend by refusing the invitation! Join us as we feast on delicious delicacies, but keep an eye out for suspicious activity. All is not as it seems…who will survive the evening? Who will fall prey to the deadly political machinations of the court? And will YOU help bring a killer to justice?

This event is a murder mystery feast. Please indicate, when booking, if you would like to play a role in the unfolding drama (this will involve being assigned a persona for the evening, with certain tasks to complete in order to set the scene and provide clues to the inevitable murder). There are both major and minor roles available, so if you don’t wish to be a key player with plenty to do, but are happy to contribute modestly to the storyline, that can be arranged.

If you do want to play along, please ensure you book TWO WEEKS before the event (by 4th January 2026) so you have time to prepare for your role!

Please send bookings to bookings@aneala.lochac.sca.org

Bookings close 11th January 2026

If you wish to play an active role in the unfolding drama, please book by 4th January so your role can be assigned in good time.
