Mystery Night

  • Talk
  • Activity

Experience the warm glow of a Mystery Night with the Mary Martin Bookshop team. Cosy and captivating in equal measure, Mystery Night is a fun night of wine and words with a mystery author at a secret hand-picked location.

Meet the group at the appointed time at Mary Martin Bookshop in String Bean Alley at the Queen Vic Market. You will be taken on a short walk to a cosy venue where your mystery book and a glass of wine await. While you sit back in good company and unwrap your surprise, you'll be introduced to the author of the book. Towards the end of the soiree you will have the chance to meet the writer and have your book signed.

Ticket includes the mystery book, a cosy venue, one glass of wine and a moderated author session with a book signing.
