SOMEONE'S been Bumped Off! at Oakwell Hall and budding detectives are invited to turn sleuth for the night to solve the crime.

Join your hosts, Master and Mistress Batt at the historic house in Birstall that they occupied during the 17th century. They will act as your hosts for an evening of murder, mystery and suspense.

The “crime” will be committed on Friday October 24 but the evening will begin in civilised fashion with a drinks reception between 7pm and 7.30pm.

By 8pm, guests will be expected to have their thinking caps on as clues unfold in the race to unmask the murderer. There will be prizes for those who put their little grey cells to best use.

A warm buffet will be provided during the evening. Tickets are £19.50 from Oakwell Hall on 01924 326240.
