South Devon Railway Murder Mystery Experience

Book for the Murder Mystery Experience, an evening of immersive entertainment on board the historic steam train.
Murder by Appointment, the longest established murder mystery company in the West of England, will take you back to a bygone era of dark crime.
Watch as the story unfolds, listen out for clues and question the cast if you wish to try and piece together the puzzle.
Each customer will receive a hot Devon pasty (selectable at the checkout) and the on-train Buffet Car will be open for the sale of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks, including wine, local beers and cider.
The evening will start at Buckfastleigh Station from 18.30 and the train will depart at 19.00. The return time is scheduled to be no later than 22.00.
There is a casual dress code for the evening but, if you would like to dress for the era, a prize is available for the best outfit.

Merchant Adventurers Charity Beer Festival

The stunning 667 year old Merchant Adventurers’ Hall will take centre stage, complemented by over 30 breweries showcasing over 70 ales, beers and lagers. Headline sponsor Brew York will be pouring a wide range of their most popular ales, alongside some new and exciting brews!
The Great Hall will be transformed into our Keg Beer Hall and the atmospheric Undercroft of the Hall will be home to the 50 foot Cask Bar. Outside the garden will host street food by Yuzu and Orchard 27.
The 2023 Festival raised £13,000 for the Charitable Trust, which supports education projects for local children across the city. So far this year 850 local primary school children have attended fully funded visits to the Hall to enhance their studies of local history. Working with York Independent State School Partnership, 30 Year 9 & 10 students have taken part in an innovative business and enterprise course. The aim for 2024 is to raise £17,000 for the Charitable Trust.

Dreamery Gardens

Under the whispering trees of The Dreamery Gardens is a hidden and rich world of mythology, nature, and creatures both seen and unseen. The meandering path takes you under fairy walkways, over inhabited bridges, and around hobgoblin burrows. Nests of gigantic winged creatures can be found in the wood, and at night the song of the merfolk echoes out across the ponds.
Whether luxuriating in the dappled green-gold of summer, or meandering your way through frost-kissed skeletal trees, our hundred acre wood has something to enjoy no matter the time of year.
