Guests are invited to step inside the fascinating world of true crime as The Renaissance at Kelham Hall partners with The True Crime Lab for an immersive Dine and Crime Night. The evening offers gripping storytelling, psychological insight and real‑world criminal investigation, all set within the unique surroundings of the historic estate.
The experience begins in the striking Carriage Court, where visitors can relax and enjoy a hearty meal of pie, mash and peas. After dining, guests will move through to the magnificent Great Hall, where the evening continues with two captivating talks exploring the darker side of human behaviour, real‑world criminal cases and the psychology behind them.
Across the night, attendees will delve into questions such as What is a serial killer? Why do people resort to serial killing? Could you be a psychopath?
