Murder is on the Menu............

County Armagh Community Development hosted A Dinner Party to Die For......... Networking Event in Brownlow House, Lurgan attended by over 90 people from across Co Armagh. The evening took the form of a Victorian themed Murder Mystery facilitated by the Living History Department of Armagh City and District Council.
A topical fictional story was written by The Living History Department concerning a racing greyhound, his murdered owner and a betting scam. This was superbly acted out in the historic surroundings of Brownlow House. Over dinner a number of potential suspects were identified. Guests at each table had to work together to unmask the murderer.
