Murder at Milestones

Book your place on the investigation

Saturday 30 May, 2026

Time: 7:00 PM

Location: Milestones Museum

Ticket Price: £35

The year is 1897. Gaslight flickers through the fog, the cobbled streets of Basingstoke echo with hushed voices and inside The Baverstock Arms rumour is abound that Sherlock Holmes has been spotted in town and has been making investigations.

He has been asking about;
The ambitious co-landlord with more than ale on his mind
The ironmonger's assistant, burdened by debt
The milliner whose bonnets conceal hidden truths
The sweet shop owner, with a sweet tooth and a rotten core
The stationmaster whose telegraphs carry more than a few secrets
The sawmill foreman with splinters of guilt...

Before the evening has finished - someone will be dead!
Your task? To unmask the killer lurking amongst them! Armed only with your wits, you, Sherlock and your fellow detectives will interrogate suspects, follow shadowy trails and piece together the puzzle before the night is out.

Gather evidence, weigh out alibis and exchange whispers with other sleuths over a drink at the Baverstock Arms - before the final reveal exposes the culprit in your midst.
