Murder Mystery in Lancaster

Unfortunately The Royal Kings Arms has ceased trading. If it reopens we may be setting up a new date, particularly as it has such an interesting history. We were hoping to do a bespoke script based on it! Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men and all that! Meanwhile you can browse our other joiner party locations, or contact us if you want your own private event.

The Royal Kings Arms Hotel, Lancaster

The Royal Kings Arms Hotel, a historic Grade II listed building in Lancaster’s city center, blends 17th-century charm with modern comfort. Originally built during Charles I’s reign and rebuilt in 1879 after a fire, this 3-star hotel sits 200 meters from Lancaster Castle and 500 meters from the railway station, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions like the Lancaster City Museum. Its 55 non-smoking rooms feature free Wi-Fi, TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and some boast stunning castle views. The Brasserie restaurant serves local and international cuisine, including vegan options, while the Crypt Cocktail Lounge, a transformed historic venue, is perfect for events. With a 24-hour front desk, meeting rooms, and pet-friendly policies, it’s ideal for business or leisure. The hotel’s prime location makes it a great base for exploring the Lake District or Blackpool, both within a 45-minute drive.
