You’re About to Experience A Killer Christmas in July

The holidays can be stressful for all of us, but they’re especially hard on the people who re-enact a Christmas story every year for our entertainment. So good old Ebenezer Scrooge has started a “Holiday Derangement Syndrome” therapy group for characters from pop culture to get together and talk about their feelings.

Scrooge decides to act as therapist himself, since he knows all about the mixed feelings Christmas can bring. He is leading characters like the Grunch, the Sugar Plum Fairy and Shawn McClane through a discussion of what Christmas means to them when the lights suddenly go out.

There is a strange gurgling sound in the darkness, and when the lights come back on—Scrooge is dead with a sprig of holly through his heart! Was he killed by someone who was concerned about the secrets he knew? Someone who was scared of the direction the discussion was taking? Or maybe it was—YOU!

This is where your story begins…

Here Is What Our Guests Have To Say

“We stayed with Kathryn & Andrew at the beautiful Heytesbury House and could not recommend this experience more highly if we tried! The house is set on immaculately kept grounds that transport you to another world! Our group did the Murder Mystery dinner and we all now have a bundle of memories to take away as the perfect souvenir. The event was full of laughs and extremely well organized. Kathryn and Andrew were really great hosts and made us all feel so welcome.”

“The hosts put on a fun Murder Mystery night for us all. There was great communication prior to the evening to prepare us all for what was to come. We were given characters and costume ideas. When the night arrived we were all full of anticipation and ready to participate. The hosts provided the PERFECT location for a night of fun and intrigue. They supplied fantastic food . The murder was solved. A great night out. Highly recommended. Grab a group and go. It’s worth it just to be in that beautiful house.”
