Sheerluck Holmes is a  laugh out loud Murder Mystery Dinner Show.

Following the huge success of Sheer Luck Holmes – The Case of the Floating Fiancée, Holmes, Watson and Mrs Hudson are back by very popular demand with an all-new murder mystery packed with chaos, confusion and catastrophic re-enactments.

Join the detective trio for a laugh-out-loud evening of fine dining and super-sleuthing silliness as they attempt to recreate one of Holmes’ most recent cases.

There’s just one problem…  

Watson and Mrs Hudson are not exactly seasoned actors.

Expect outrageous characters, theatrical disasters, slapstick mayhem, missed cues, questionable accents and enough mishaps to make Holmes question his own powers of deduction.

Can you piece together the clues and discover whodunnit… or will it all come down to Sheer Luck?

A hilarious, fully interactive murder mystery dinner show with a delicious three-course meal that’s simply to DIE for.

Seating is at large tables in the restaurant, and smaller groups may be sharing with other guests.

Larger groups will be seated together.

Your table is allocated before you arrive and cannot be altered on arrival.

The Watermill Theatre

The Watermill Theatre is a unique producing powerhouse of residential and artistic facilities which provide a crucible for creativity, innovative storytelling, and artistic excellence. 

The Watermill’s mission is to make theatre that is surprising, inventive, and exciting and to enable access for everyone.

A hallmark of its work is the artistry of actor-musicianship, in both new writing and reinvigorated classics.

The theatre nurtures and celebrates talent and creativity in its company, community, and in the wider sector and it holds wellbeing, equity, and sustainability at the heart of its culture.

The Watermill Theatre is a small but mighty 200- seat theatre, set in idyllic gardens and nestled on the banks of the river Lambourn in rural West Berkshire, southeast England.

In 2024, the Watermill was awarded the prestigious title of ‘Theatre of the Year’ jointly with the National Theatre.

This award, recognising excellence in British theatre, was bestowed on the Watermill Theatre for its continued ambition as an independent charity, and the success of their 2023 production of The Lord of the Rings.

This multi award-winning production, the Watermill’s most ambitious to date, has subsequently transferred to Chicago, Auckland, and Australia (tour) before it returns to the UK in October 2025.

Reaching far beyond the 200 seats in its auditorium, the Watermill’s productions regularly transfer to the West End or tour the UK and internationally, including Calamity Jane, Spike, Bleak Expectations, Amelie the Musical, Tell Me on a Sunday, and Crazy for You.  

With a core belief in the transformative power of the arts, the Watermill Theatre also runs a comprehensive outreach programme, working with children and young people, those from low- income backgrounds, and isolated or displaced communities.
