... The Wake It is the early 1900’s and everyone is gathered together at the wake of Miss Dorothy Anderson, a local business woman, when a gruesome and despicable murder is committed!
Can you trust the local physician, Dr Robert Henry? He has been behaving rather strangely since he started stepping out with Jeanne DuBarry, a mysterious French woman who has recently arrived in town. She makes her own chocolates – dare you try one?
Raven Sythes, the local undertaker is definitely a suspicious character who will send shivers down your spine.
Then there’s Nancy Miller from the local brewery. It seems that she is not as innocent as she first appears, but does she have a motive for murder?
Come along for an interactive Murder Mystery experience where you are the investigator. Meet these unusual suspects if you dare and find out which of them committed the dreadful deed!

A 3-course dinner with live acting entertainment between courses £35 Per Person
To Make a reservation or find out further details please contact our reception team on 02890776925
... The event involves all of your guests as teams of Detectives. They must attempt to solve a deadly who-dun it by answering three simple questions: WHO committed the crime, HOW and WHY? Our events are accompanied by a meal and begin with the audience witnessing scripted scenes featuring events that took place in the run-up to the ghastly crime! You will meet each of the Suspects who join them at their tables to be interrogated. "Have you ever had an affair?" "How much money do you have?" "Have you ever been blackmailed?" These are the questions we get asked the most - and who wouldn't want to ask other people them? It's the best excuse for being nosey and getting away with it you'll ever have.
With forensic evidence, police files and more performed scenes you'll quickly find yourself engaged in an interactive mystery that you'll be falling over yourself to solve. Each event concludes with a flash-back portrayal of the actual murder taking place and the announcement of the winning team of guests. A perfect mix of competition, pace and light-hearted hilarity.

Wonderful place! If you are in Belfast you should visit it!!!

User

What a wonderful venue... with an amazing view! Loved the Castle and the Cellar Restaurant... it's warm inviting, cosy ambience... and added thoughtful romantic touches to detail... set the mood for a perfect, relaxed romantic Valentines meal. Additionally, we received first class service, delicious, well presented food... that had our taste buds dancing. Compliments to the Chef and special thank you to Kiera and Rafael for exceeding all our expectations and more! We had an amazing Valentine's evening... we'll be back for sure! xoxo

Childhood memories

My playground in the 70’s �

Fantastic times and loved the fact that the upkeep and maintenance is at a high level

User

Beautiful views over Belfast lough ,and backdrop for cavehill ,the surroundings are stunning like the castle.

User

Lovely place but not enough staff on in restaurant.

User

Great place to visit BUT staff in restaurant too few and,I think,because they were overstretched, were surly and rather offhand.

User

Good point of vue of the city. The area is nice.

User

We made the trip all the way there just to find out we couldn't go in because of the Fitz-Simmons reunion party. Thanks!

User

£14 for awful food and awful service - what a disappointment for a bus load of ladies on an afternoon outing! They were so disappointed - shame on you Belfast Castle!

User

Very bad food was stinking the service was poor slow I won’t be back after the girl that served are drinks spills it all over my boyfriend she didn’t even say sorry she walked out laughing and the fella that was serving are food came over and apologised for her like what is that about y did she not say sorry he went home very annoyed so we won’t be back

User

This isnt against belfast castle but about the event that was held on sunday by bb entertainment /diane. It was awful and not what we paid for. She told us we would get a refund and has now blocked us from facebook

.she ripped us off, total con artist and shouldnt be allowed to use this venue again! I know shes planning another one!

User

Terrible service.

Young fella and girl kept disappearing. Made no effort to communicate with customers other than "We've only one chef on today" after a lady enquired about the delay in getting her lunch.

A Mozzarella and Basil Toastie with no Basil in it, freezing cold cheese and a few wilting salad leaves, and a chicken and Bacon Toastie, top slice of bread toasted ok on one side, burnt on the other. The other two rounds of bread not toasted. Cold Chicken and the same wilted leaves.

Staff vanished again.

We couldn't pay. Other folk couldn't order. Staff vanished again.

Why didn't I complain at the time?

Was very hungry and in a hurry. Certainly wasn't prepared to wait for a replacement, picked out the edible bits and put it down to experience.

For a major Belfast tourist attraction this wasn't just below average, it was BAD.
