Our team of writers and actors work tirelessly on their characters\, back story and preparation for questions. In fact\, it takes more time to prepare for that than it does for these fabulous actors to be script down! \nThere can be only one winning team. So it is important to write down as many clues about each suspect and in general that you uncover. The team with the most clues will be victorious. \nItinerary\nCheck in at 5:30pm\nCurtain up at 6:00pm\nTake your seats on the train at 6:45pm\nTrain departure at 7:00pm\nArrive back at Wansford at 8:10pm\nConclusion and evening ends at 8:45pm \nA self-support group of social outcasts meet regularly to try to cope with their Halloween-rooted anxieties. This month’s unconditional positive regard goes right out the window when one of the members gets murdered. The remaining suspects need to prove their innocence to weed out the guilty party. \nOver 18’s only

SUMMARY:Fungi
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 27th October 2026\, 9:30am – 12pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA guided walk through Burley wood with renowned mycologist Claudio Bincoletto to investigate the autumn mushroom species growing in profusion. We shall identify species as we discover them before gathering for a woodland breakfast of privately grown fungi species and a practical demonstration of ‘planting’ your own log with spores. You shall head home with a full understanding of how to grow in your own garden and a finished seeded log\, ready for fruiting in a few months time. \nYou’ll need a reasonable level of fitness and be able to cope with uneven\, wet and often slippery ground. On wet days\, wellies are a necessity. Please make us aware in advance of any allergies. \n  \n£40.00 per person
