The Thursday Murder Club: Unearth the Plot

Immerse yourself in a heady mix of murder mystery fun and horticulture as the RHS Gardens team up with Netflix to celebrate the film launch of The Thursday Murder Club

This August, our RHS Gardens will provide the perfect backdrop for murder mystery lovers, as we partner with Netflix to celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated film, The Thursday Murder Club, directed by Chris Columbus. Based on Richard Osman’s international bestselling novel, the film features an all-star cast including Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie, as the irrepressible group of retirees who find themselves at the heart of a real-life whodunnit.

Solve the mystery at our gardens

Bringing the charm and intrigue of the book to life, join us to celebrate the film’s launch at all five RHS Gardens – RHS Bridgewater in Greater Manchester, RHS Harlow Carr in Yorkshire, RHS Hyde Hall in Essex, RHS Rosemoor in Devon and RHS Wisley in Surrey.

From Friday 22 to Thursday 28 August, step into the world of The Thursday Murder Club with an exclusive experience that combines the beauty of horticulture with a perplexing mystery to solve. Created in partnership with Netflix, discover a stunning floral installation at each garden, as well as the chance to channel your inner detective on a murder mystery trail with clues hidden around our gardens.

A murderously good afternoon tea

At RHS Wisley, you also can indulge in a special themed afternoon tea as the Terrace Restaurant becomes Joyce’s Tearoom. Named in honour of the character played by Celia Imrie, the menu is filled with delightful nods to The Thursday Murder Club gang. Enjoy a cup of Elizabeth’s Earl Grey (with a twist) or Ibrahim’s Calming Chamomile, and, of course, no visit would be complete without a slice of Joyce’s famous Lemon Drizzle cake or one of Ron’s must-try sausage rolls. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

The Thursday Murder Club afternoon tea menu is available between 2.30pm and 4.30pm from Friday 22 to Thursday 28 August at RHS Wisley only. Booking recommended to avoid disappointment – book your afternoon tea.
