A Song of Coffins and Pens - A Murder Mystery

For the first time ever, the Coffin Works and the Pen Museum unite to plunge you back into the streets of 1915 Birmingham. The “Shell Crisis” is at its peak, and the Jewellery Quarter’s factories are close to boiling point. A worker has been found dead, and the evidence points towards the “Underworld” of the Albert Works and the silent workshops of the Fleet Street Coffin Works. The investigation is in your hands.

Step into a living history experience to interrogate the desperate and the dangerous. From the clatter of the pen presses to the shadows of the shroud room, you must search the evidence and separate the truthful from the liars. Will you uncover the truth before the morning whistle blows, or will the secrets of the Quarter stay buried forever?

This event will begin at the Pen Museum and finish at the Coffin Works. There will be a short walk between the museums, taking roughly 10 minutes. Refreshments, including tea, coffee and biscuits, will be available before and in a halfway interval. Please get in touch if you have any allergies or dietary requirements we should be aware of.
