Murder To A Tee | Cluedunnit Murder Mystery

Swing into a night of suspense, secrets, and suspects…

Pull on your plus fours and join us for a murder mystery dinner like no other—where the stakes are high, and the putters… suspicious.

As you savour a 3-course meal, the plot thickens around you. Curious characters drift from table to table, stories don’t quite line up, and someone isn’t playing fair. It’s a race to read between the lies, follow the clues, and figure out whodunnit before dessert is served.

Will your sleuthing skills land you the win, or will the killer sink their final shot while you’re still lining up yours?

Murder, mystery, and mayhem—right on course.

Haydn’s Miracle

The AHE quartet return to Haydn’s Op. 76 with No. 6 in E flat major. It’s often called the Fantasia after its utterly captivating slow movement, but the true sense of the word – the composer’s “fancy” running freely – applies equally to the whole quartet, from the euphoric riffing on a few chords in the first movement, to the finale’s MC Escher-like rhythmic illusions. Guaranteed to tie tapping toes in knots.

Another miracle: Schubert’s sublime Quartet in A minor was 200 years old last year! When you hear it leaping off the page on gut strings, stripped of vibrato-soaked varnish, it’s like a world premiere. The harmonic language of the menuetto alone is literally marvellous: what creative process led him to take a jaded dance-form on such a mysterious and melancholy journey? And the transformation of the Rosamunde theme; again, truly fantastical.
