What if you could spend one magical night inside Sherlock Holmes’ most infamous case?
Following two sold-out runs in 2021 and 2024, The Lost Estate invites audiences to step through the iconic door of 221B Baker Street for the highly anticipated third outing of The Great Murder Mystery.
Running for a strictly limited 12-week season from 6 April - 27 June, the experience plunges guests into a grand immersive world of breathtaking detail, filled with strange tales, experiments, music and secrets from across the Sherlock Holmes canon.
Starring Samuel Collings, who makes a triumphant return to the role of Sherlock Holmes for the third time, the production masterfully reimagines Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. Brought to life by The Lost Estate, hailed as London's "immersive heavyweights" by The Standard, the show is an unforgettable fusion of immersive theatre, live music, mixology and murder.
At the centre of the experience is a meticulously rebuilt 221B Baker Street (designed by TLE’s Design Director, Thomas Kirk Shannon), hidden behind an unassuming door in West Kensington. Audiences do not simply watch the mystery unfold… they become part of the elites of Victorian London.
As Holmes' thrilling 'press conference' escalates well beyond its planned half hour, his long-suffering housekeeper, Mrs Hudson, is forced to improvise in spectacular style. Calling in a favour from London's grandest dining establishment, she conjures a sumptuous three-course Victorian fine dining experience, seamlessly integrating a world-class culinary journey into the heart of the narrative.
Indulgent cocktails draw guests even deeper into Holmes’ world. The masterful mixology is inspired by the 221B Liquor Cabinet and forgotten Victorian manuals, perfectly complementing the tension and theatrics of the evening.
As with all Lost Estate productions, music and atmosphere remain the heartbeat of the experience, amplifying the thrill of the chase and the ominous dread of the moors of Baskerville.
