Join us for our Murder Mystery Experience, an evening of immersive entertainment on board our historic steam train.
Murder by Appointment, the longest established murder mystery company in the West of England, will take you back to a bygone era of dark crime.
Watch as the story unfolds, listen out for clues and question the cast if you wish to try and piece together the puzzle.
Each customer will receive a hot Devon pasty (selectable at the checkout) and the on-train Buffet Car will be open for the sale of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks, including wine, local beers and cider.
The evening will start at Buckfastleigh Station from 18.30 and the train will depart at 19.00. The return time is scheduled to be no later than 22.00.
There is a casual dress code for the evening but, if you would like to dress for the era, a prize is available for the best outfit.
