Murder mystery evenings will be held on a steam train this year.

The Bluebell Railway is hosting the experience across various dates, with at least one event each month.

The evenings, which include a three-course dinner, will see a murder mystery game play out on a steam railway Pullman carriage.

Passengers can begin by having cocktails and observing their surroundings for clues.

Then a planned fake murder will take place and passengers will have to try and solve the mystery as detectives board the steam train.

Detective packs and clues will be given alongside a three-course meal.

More information and the dates of these evenings can be found at https://www.bluebell-railway.com/murder-mystery-trains/.

Participants will have to "cross-examine surviving characters, piece together testimonies and search for inconsistencies" to solve the investigation.

A spokesman for Bluebell Railway said: "Embark on an unforgettable journey where mystery and fine dining intertwine, presenting you with an experience like no other – a murder mystery dinner aboard a steam train, thanks to The Company Upfront team and The Bluebell Railway.

"Witness the murder, then steam through the Sussex countryside while enjoying a three-course meal and solving the heinous crime."

The event costs £175 per person.
