Tiffin & Wine
Be the first to witness ‘A murder on The Belle’
This unique experience is the outcome of an evening of probably a little too much wine. Good wine….actually great wine! My friends and l decided it would be a great idea to have a Murder Mystery on The Rutland Belle. Around the third bottle (I am admittedly a lightweight) we also decided to include an Indian tiffin.
Why?
We all tend to have a beer with our curry. Have you tried a Chicken Dhansak with a Cros des Bruyeres red? It works really well. Combine this with interactive entertainment and we might just be onto something!
Thankfully the Captain of The Belle is a good egg and willing to give it a go.
With the help of Red Herring Rutland, Jashir and French Cellar we are going to create a unique event that is the first EVER on Rutland Water so why not grab the first ticket of its kind, before they all sell out.
Please note, tickets go on sale on 8th August and places are limited to 50 tickets!*
This special launch event takes place on Friday 13th September from 6pm-8pm.
