Event Details

The Finest Nibs Make The Deepest Cuts…

Join us once more to unravel a murder mystery in our very own Pen factory but this time it’s the 1920s

In the 1920s, Birmingham, the City of a Thousand trades, was also the pen-making capital of the world—but at the Albert Works, they’re manufacturing more than just nibs. They’re manufacturing a cover-up.

Join us for the 25th Anniversary of the Pen Museum for our much anticipated return of our Murder Mysteries. Interrogate our 4 suspects , analyse our full police and witness reports and uncover the mastermind behind this heinous crime.

Can you separate the truth from the lies and truly uncover  who dared murder Ms Thorne. Book your tickets to the quirkiest Murder Mystery now!
