It's murder on Valentine's Day on ss Great Britain

Murder and love often go hand in hand, a fact not missed by the ss Great Britain this Valentine's Day. The ship, now in her original Dry Dock in Bristol, is hosting a Valentine's Murder Mystery Dinner.

Set during the 1920s in the ship's Promenade Deck and First Class Dining Saloon, the children and grandchildren of the ship's passengers have been invited to uncover a dark secret. There is love in the air, but also revenge and...murder!

The script is based on true events and characters that have been researched by the actors on board and assisted by information from the Dockyard Museum. Alhough there is no record of murder, many believe the disappearance of the ship's Captain Gray during a voyage between Australia and England to be dubious.

The Valentine's Day theme is carried across into the menu for the evening as well which includes heart of smoked salmon cornets, breast of chicken with champagne and forest mushroom sauce and strawberries dipped in bitter chocolate. Guests will be expected to enter into the spirit of the event and dress up in 1920's costume.

For more information or to book call ++44 (0) 117 926 0680 or visit www.ssgreatbritain.org. The event costs £60 per person
