Copse & Robbers at Hoghton Tower

An outdoor event for all the family

Hoghton Tower and Panto-Crime are proud to present a new, fun, outdoor event. This live detective game is suitable for all the family and will be set within the wonderful walled gardens at Hoghton Tower.

A crime has been committed in the village of ‘Sleeping Copse’…interview the animals and work out the clues to find out ‘whodunnit!’

In the tiny hamlet of ‘Sleeping Copse’ at a place the locals call ‘The Crossroads’ two dastardly crimes have been committed against members of the local community. Before the Official Police Detectives get there, you must question the  suspects and discover the clues before making your accusations to the local Bobby….

Imagine this as a live game of the famous ‘whodunnit’ board game with characters spread out throughout the gardens. The game can be safely carried out in your family in the great outdoors (come rain or shine!) and therefore you will be able to maintain social distance.
