The marvellous Miss Mapletree returns with a WWII-themed Murder Mystery Dinner!

Miss Mapletree’s Perfect Murder presents a hilarious, immersive entertainment experience at Hartlebury Castle. Take in the story as you dine with a delicious 3-course meal and put your detective skills to the test figuring out whodunnit!

This is a fundraising event for Hartlebury Castle Trust. With every ticket purchase, you’re supporting our vision to inspire visitors with the Castle’s fascinating stories and encourage them to consider the issues of the world today.

As a registered charity, we rely on the generous purchases of tickets and entry fees to preserve Hartlebury Castle. The Castle stands as a timeless testament to over a millennium of history, bearing witness to the stories of 112 bishops and countless others who have called it home.

From the remarkable deeds of bishops who shaped history, to the everyday lives of servants, every story the Castle offers grants visitors a glimpse into the past. We wish to enable Hartlebury Castle to serve as a crucible for dialogue, challenging us to learn from this past and chart a course towards a more insightful future. By supporting us, you are ensuring that we can continue the Castle’s legacy. Thank you for your generosity.
