Sherlock in Summertown

A crime has been committed and Dr Watson needs your help. You’ll need to follow a trail of clues around Summertown to crack the mystery, meeting a cast of Arthur Conan Doyle’s timeless characters along the way.
A body, a discarded bag, and a notebook. It isn’t much evidence for Sherlock Holmes to crack the case, but with your help, justice will be served.
An interactive, immersive production, based on the Sherlock Holmes novels by Arthur Conan Doyle, adapted by award-winning site-specific theatre company, Creation Theatre.  This is a promenade production, in groups of up to ten, expect walking between clues in search of the next!
