Murder Mystery Experience

This unique experience is valid for either March 16 or March 23, 2024 and includes a private party planned and coordinated by The Hillcrest Estate, dinner provided by The Yard of Ale Restaurant, dessert from The Cake Place, four bottles of wine, and an overnight stay at The Hillcrest Estate (total of four guest rooms).

In an effort to support our son’s school, The Hillcrest Estate is donating a private, murder mystery-themed dinner party and overnight stay for up to eight guests (value of $1,500). Bidding will take place on the school’s website and all funds from the winning bid will be donated back to St. Agnes School.

The Hillcrest Estate is honored to support St. Agnes School in Avon.

How it Works

The winning bidder will work with our Event Manager to invite a total of seven friends to join you as Gatsby-inspired characters for this unforgettable dinner experience. They will receive an invitation and character description prior to the party. The night will transpire as follows:

  1. Upon arrival, your host (Hillcrest Estate Event Manager) will read the objectives and explain how the night will unfold.

  2. Have a drink, start mingling with your guests and sleuthing.

  3. Enjoy a elegant dinner (donated by The Yard of Ale Restaurant) while witnessing a surprise murder.

  4. While savoring dessert (donated by The Cake Place), take time to investigate the murder and evidence, fill out your accusation form, and guess the who the killer is.

  5. The murder is revealed and a killer time is had!

  6. At the end of the evening, enjoy your overnight accommodations located on the second floor of our estate.
