Murder mystery night - Christmas in July

100 people converged on historic J-Ward in Ararat for a Murder Mystery night. The black tie event include a sumtuous 3 course meal.

The night began with pre-dinner drinks in the foyer, accompanied by the sounds of a local high school 3 piece band

We then moved into the cell block where 2 long tables were arranged in the hallway between the cells. Before long, the body of the warden was discovered. Information and clues were given regarding the 8 suspects, before it was revealed that it was indeed Max Power who had done away with the Warden.

It was great to see so many new faces at the event, with over 60 of the people attending being new members.

The event proved very popular, with tickets selling out 2 weeks prior to the night, which meant that we had to turn away some disappointed people. So make sure you book your tickets early for the next event to ensure yourself a spot!

We will be posting some photos from the night soon, so  stay tuned.
