Secrets of Sancreed

A Sancreed House Murder Mystery Weekend

We are delighted to unveil the first in our new series of immersive events: Secrets of Sancreed, our inaugural murder mystery weekend at Sancreed House. Step back in time to 1953, where whispers travel faster than the wind across the moors… and where secrets, deceit, and murder lurk beneath the genteel veneer of country life.

This unique experience places you at the heart of the unfolding drama. Each guest will take on a character connected to the enigmatic Tremayne family, discovering hidden motives, unearthing clues, and shaping the course of the story. This is not an event for spectators—you never quite know where your character’s choices may lead…


When is it Happening

Friday 30th and Saturday 31st of January, 2026

What’s Included

This murder mystery weekend features a two-night stay with breakfast and dinner provided, plus a fully immersive story experience throughout the second evening.


Murder Mystery Weekend Schedule 

Friday – Arrival

Welcome Pizzas & Mingling 
Settle into Sancreed House with unlimited homemade sourdough pizzas, topped with Cornish cheeses and fresh local ingredients. Enjoy a relaxed evening getting to know your fellow guests before the mystery begins…


Saturday – Exploration & Anticipation

Start your morning with our beloved home-cooked breakfast, then spend the day exploring some of Cornwall’s most beautiful winter destinations:

  • The dramatic Minack Theatre, almost entirely to yourselves
  • Cape Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula
  • The charming harbour village of Mousehole
  • The vibrant galleries and winter bustle of St Ives

Please note: Between 12pm and 4pm, all guests will be asked to vacate the property to allow for the “safe time-traveling” preparations within the house.

Night Two – The Mystery Unfolds 

At 6pm, the evening begins.

Enjoy a sumptuous three-course banquet* prepared by a local chef as tensions grow, secrets surface, and the story twists ever deeper. By the night’s end, all will be revealed… and justice will finally be served.

This murder mystery weekend promises drama, intrigue, laughter, and surprises—an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Cornwall.


Sunday – Farewell

Wake up to our delicious breakfast and head home, or extend your stay as long as you want**
