The Story
It’s 1932 – a year shimmering with jazz, glamour, and intrigue.
The Old Swan Hotel is a haven for aristocrats, artists, starlets, socialites, and the occasional crime writer—each escaping, if only for a night, the relentless spotlight of high society.
Yet, behind the polite laughter and clinking glasses, it appears danger has been lurking in the shadows.
And when a body is discovered, celebration gives way to suspicion. With reputations at stake and international tensions quietly smoldering, can you unravel the truth before scandal – or something far more sinister – comes to light?

A waltz with Death Live Harrogate Murder Mystery Dinner & Weekend Packages
The Old Swan, is Harrogate’s most iconic Victorian retreat, where grand period features meet modern comforts in the heart of a historic spa town. Grand, elegant, and full of character, The Old Swan is where Harrogate’s history and hospitality meet.
Famous for its glass-ceiling Wedgewood Restaurant and the cosy Swan Lounge with views of the lawn, this elegant hotel has been inspiring stories for nearly 200 years and even played a part in Agatha Christie’s real-life mystery when she famously disappeared here in 1926, making it the perfect stage for a weekend of mystery and fun.
Before your Murder Mystery evening begins, relax with a drink in the cosy bar and lounge, before you put your detective skills to the test. To round off your weekend, why not visit the local Christmas fair (available at an additional cost).
