A moving murder mystery is coming to Belmond British Pullman Trains
Private Drama Events and British Pullman, A Belmond Train, England have announced a new multi-year partnership set to reimagine, bolster and refresh its Moving Murder this March 2023.
Private Drama Events and British Pullman, A Belmond Train, England have announced a new multi-year partnership set to reimagine, bolster and refresh its Moving Murder. Private Drama Events will create an all-new show revolving around the Festival of Britain. Guests will be invited to step back in time to 1951, where contagious optimism is sweeping the country, and be transported to a magical experience aboard the British Pullman.
From the moment you step on board, you'll be greeted by liveried staff and treated to a chilled glass of champagne, followed by a sumptuous five-course lunch. The art-deco carriages - including the award-winning Cygnus by acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson, will immerse you in the fictional atmosphere, with enigmatic suspects styled in bespoke costumes by West End royalty.
The Moving Murder Mystery is a truly interactive experience, with guests invited to interview the cast and piece together clues using a bespoke illustrated souvenir brochure designed by renowned illustrator Emma Rios. The brochure is inspired by the Pleasure Gardens Exhibition Guides published for the Festival of Britain in 1951.
This new story is woven from the train's history and the memories of those who have worked or travelled on board, and each carriage's unique personality. The characters costumes pay homage to British Pullman's design features, intricate marquetry, and colourful fabrics, making it a truly unique experience that guests will fall in love with.
Adam Blackwood, Creative Director and founder of Private Drama Events said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with British Pullman to create an unforgettable, luxury and fully immersive experience for the train’s guests. Our team has consulted closely with the British Pullman’s team; from creating bespoke costumes which draw inspiration from the original patterns and detailing in the carriages, all the way through to scripting an innovative and intricate mystery that gradually unfolds to reveal true hidden gems from within the Belmond archives. This new story is woven from the train’s history, the memories of people who worked or travelled onboard, and even each carriage’s unique personality. We can’t wait to get A Moving Murder Mystery show on the tracks!”
The British Pullman Moving Murder Mystery will be offered on eighteen trips departing from and returning to London Victoria station. Launching in March 2023, this unique experience is the perfect celebration of the great British murder mystery tradition, from Arthur Conan Doyle to Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock, and beyond. Every dramatic plot-twist blurs the lines between fact and fiction, inviting guests to lean further into the train's astonishing history while they piece together the clues. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!
