Anne Paterson, manager at The Eccleston Arms, said: "The Eccleston Arms will be perfect to host these events as the ambience of the restaurant and the quality of the food and service will compliment the actors and the theme of the play.

"We are hoping people will get involved and come in their best attire for the evening or even stay in one of our luxurious bedrooms for the night.

"We are very excited to see our first play in action as it will be an amazing night set over a lovely three-course meal."

There appears to be a growing interest in murder mysteries following the release of Knives Out and Glass Onion, starring Daniel Craig.
