Theme Nights

Incident at Martindale  |  Spooky Cellar Nights

> Our "who-dunnit" nights have proved extremely popular, as guests attempt to solve the Theme and assist Inspector Percy Plodd to pursue the perpetrator.

Incident at Martindale nights are based on the classic “whodunit” principle. A group of characters are summoned together by Inspector Plodd to assist him in his enquiries. The emphasis on the night is one of fun for 10-12 guests!

… It was 7.10 am on a grey, bleak morning in Mintaro. The wind was howling outside as Inspector Percival Plodd poked at a few dying embers in the hearth, dreading the necessary sprint to the woodheap to collect some firewood. The Mintaro Police Station was a one person affair, and he cursed not having a Constable to send out for the wood.

Suddenly, the mood was broken by the shrill ring of the telephone. “Mintaro Police Station and Holding Cells, Inspector Percival Plodd speaking,” he answered. The operator, Maude Ford sighed. Percy was always so formal, even when he knew it would be her. “An urgent call from the Hall, Percy”, she said. Inspector Plodd stiffened and stood up. The Hall, he thought – must be important.

“…an Incident ‘as occurred at Martindale ‘all!”, the voice shouted down the line….
