Who are West End Events?

West End Events has performed their inimitable murder mysteries to an audience of over 100,000 during the last five years. Professional script writers, producers, directors, experienced professional actors, 'look-alikes' and comedians have combined their talents to create entertaining and unforgettable fun-filled evenings. The dining room transforms itself into a theatre stage and you become part of our unique Theatre Restaurant productions.

• RADISSON VANDERBILT HOTEL, South Kensington, 68 - 86 Cromwell Rd, London SW6
  

How much audience participation?

Entirely your choice. There's a good comedy thriller to watch and everyone gets a chance to become a Super Sleuth at the end of the evening with prizes for the best solution and best limerick.

What is the 'HIT LIST'?

We invite you to provide a little background information on some of your more extroverted guests. Give us your best in-jokes, office gossip and motives for murder together with some background information on what your company does. This is all good material for our scriptwriters and detectives in order that they can give your tables' personalised attention during the evening. The Hit List is not obligatory, nor do we guarantee to use all the information supplied, but having said that, it does go down a storm. As a rough guide we recommend two 'hits' for every ten guests. Just bring the list along and surreptitiously pass it to one of the actors at the bar reception.

What do I wear?

Smart/casual is fine, but some of our audiences prefer to get into the fun atmosphere of the with their own costumes, for example in the case of the 1920's production.

Do you cater for vegetarians?

A pre-ordered vegetarian menu is always available.

What about refreshments?

A cash bar is always available and we send out a pre-order form if you wish to pre-select your beverages.

What are the payment terms?

All year round - Provisional bookings held. Final numbers (including any vegetarian options) and full payment due twenty one days prior to the show.
