Check the individual website tabs for more information on each event or create your own event with a shower, birthday party or other group gathering! Please be advised that our dinner event tickets and Murder Mystery are non-refundable unless we are able to re-sell as we have limited seating – most tickets for our events can be purchased directly on line through the appropriate event tab or by calling us directly 603-750-4200. Most noteworthy is that our mailing list guests always get a 48 hour advance notice before we release to the remaining public.
