The National Space Centre is hosting a very special dinner in the heart of the museum’s galleries, where the curse of the Mummy will lead to ‘murder’!
Join them on Saturday 19 November for The Curse of King Tut dinner, and enjoy a gin cocktail upon arrival, a four-course seasonal and locally sourced menu, live music and the opportunity to participate in an immersive murder mystery with an Egyptian theme.
The evening is hosted by Osiris Kemet, time traveller, historian, part scientist part magician, seeker of truth, and bringer of justice.
Osiris heads a full cast of professional actors from the Leicestershire based Wise Owl Theatre Company, who will lead guests through the interwoven storyline of murder and intrigue, before the exciting denouement and the murder is revealed.
Entertainment on the evening will include the classically trained Alice Strange, who will begin the evening with haunting blend of apocalyptic fairy-tale steampop with a touch of the circus. “Blessed with the natural stage presence of Siouxsie Sioux, the vocal command of Björk and the dark phrasing of Concrete Blonde’s Johnette Napolitano, [Alice] is a rare and singular talent.” Louder Than War
The Leicester based visitor attraction’s Head Chef has created a menu highlighting local and seasonal produce, which includes dishes such as ‘Shredded ham hock and black pudding terrine with a pearl onion piccalilli, focaccia toast and a baby watercress salad with plum vinaigrette’ and ‘Roasted poblano pepper stuffed with garlic, red onion, black bean and charred baby corn with tender stem broccoli, Mexican spiced five bean rice and a yellow capsicum dressing’.
The evening will finish with guests having an opportunity to explore the ground floor galleries, before dancing the night away to a ‘carnival blend’ of live ukulele and acoustic guitar with a twist of orchestral instruments to provide a very theatrical and cabaret-like sound, thanks to band Victor and the Bully. Inspired by steampunk, swing, mariachi, classical, electro-swing and punk, they guarantee to be the fantastic end to an amazing evening.
Tickets cost just £45 per person (18+), with all monies going to support the National Space Centre’s charity programmes.
