A historic mansion is set to bring the golden age of detective fiction to life.
This weekend, Preston Manor will transform into a whodunnit theatrical set, promising an experience reminiscent of Agatha Christie's mysteries on Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9.
From 10 am to 5 pm, visitors can expect an adventure filled with hunting for clues, solving puzzles, cracking mysteries and some live music on Saturday.
During the event dubbed "Mystery at the Manor Family Weekend", pre-booked and walk-in visitors will be thrown into a detective playground as a priceless ruby - the Star of Southwick - is stolen from Lady Stanford's safe.

Visitors will join forces with Seagull Syd and Jim the Dog, whose love for cake and secrecy is bound to add a twist to the detective drama.
Families will step into the manor's atmospheric rooms, interact with a list of suspicious characters and piece together information ranging from creating a police ID card to designing a "Wanted" poster of the suspect.
Children aged 5-18 will be charged £8.50, while an adult ticket goes for £14.
Visitors travelling by Brighton & Hove Buses or Metrobus can enjoy a 15 per cent discount on adult and child admission.
