Murder Mystery Takeover: A Waters-Down Affair at Bimbadgen Estate (SOLD OUT)
Step into a night of intrigue, deception and old-world glamour.
Experience a murder mystery dinner in the Hunter Valley at Bimbadgen Estate’s Esca Restaurant.
Let’s set the scene…
It is 1936, and you are invited to an elegant weekend gathering at an English country mansion, hosted by the affluent Sir Roger Waters-Downe of Waters-Downe Beverages Ltd. The evening promises sophistication, fine company and flowing conversation.
But upon arrival, something is terribly wrong.
Sir Roger is found dead, drowned in his own swimming pool.
Three conflicting wills emerge, each telling a different story. Secrets begin to surface. Motives unravel.
No one is above suspicion.
The question remains… who wrote the wills, and who ensured Sir Roger would never see them carried out?
