About This Event

An original murder mystery supper evening on the Volk's Electric Railway. 2025's SOLD OUT production returns - refreshed & updated! A bespoke murder mystery evening celebrating Brighton's iconic railway- the oldest working electric railway in the world. The year is 1937, the place - your favourite electric railway. The shadow of war is on the horizon and the town is fighting to redefine itself, cleaning up its slumlands and racecourse.
