Cheeky Reaper Murder Mystery

20/06/2026

Join us at The Horse and Groom Bittaford this Wednesday.

🎭It’s 1932, prohibition-era Chicago, and this modest-looking club seems harmless enough - but locals know the truth.

Even after Al Capone’s arrest, his ominous shadow still stretches across every corner of the city, and this place is no exception.

Inside the club, manager Tommy Malone is scheming to spring the notorious mob boss, unaware that the new owner, Bernie “The Butcher,” has a dangerous agenda of his own.

On stage each night, Roxy, the club’s dazzling singer, holds the crowd spellbound with her velvet voice and a smile that hides more than it reveals.

Beneath the shimmer of sequins and the smoke-filled lights, she carries a secret powerful enough to bring the whole operation crashing down - a secret some would kill to protect, and others would die to uncover.

The stakes are high, the liquor flows in secret, and loyalty comes with a price no one can afford.

GUILTY OR INNOCENT?

Jason Tyler, a well respected vet, has been charged with the murder of his wife, Lily Tyler. It seems he had the motive and the wherewithal - but only you can decide his fate.

🎭 EVENT: “Courtroom Live”
📍WHERE: Princess Theatre and Arts Centre, Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset
📆 WHEN: Saturday 27 June, 2026

Could YOU deliver the verdict?

Cheeky Reaper’s immersive courtroom experience puts the audience at the heart of a recreated historical trial.

⚖️ Hear the evidence
⚖️ Question the witnesses
⚖️ Debate the facts
⚖️ Deliver your verdict

Then discover the actual outcome of the original case – and find out whether you got it right.

It’s dramatic, thought-provoking and surprisingly tense. Something a little bit different to our usual murder mysteries but still a lot of fun!

And yes… the responsibility feels very real!

Would you convict? Or would you acquit?

Booking details on our website - linked in comments.

Oh and in case you were wondering - AI is guilty of this mugshot. Our actor, Dave, is completely innocent! (On this occasion! 😜)

📣 Something exciting’s brewing… 👀

Sue and Matt had the pleasure of meeting Larissa from Improving Lives Plymouth today, a fantastic local charity dedicated to supporting people across the city with their health, wellbeing, independence and quality of life.

Through a wide range of services, they help thousands of Plymouth residents access the support, advice and opportunities they need to thrive. 💪😃

Matt explains how the meeting came about: “We met at the Devon Business Awards,” he says, “and I'm so glad we did!”

“It's been brilliant finding out about the wonderful things they do and how long they’ve been looking after the people of Plymouth.”

Sue agrees: “It’s inspiring to see how hard this charity works to improve lives and provide vital opportunities. We’re genuinely excited to support them,” she says.

We’ve been chatting about ways we can work together and, while we’re not quite ready to reveal all the details just yet, let’s just say we’ve got a few ideas up our sleeves… and there’s every possibility that you’ll be able to help! 😊

Watch this space. More will be revealed soon! 😘
