History

Founded in 1317 as a Carmelite monastery and later patronised by Henry VIII, the house was later used as a private residence by the Delme-Radcliffe family, as reflected in some of the room names. Many original features remain, including cloisters, Monks Walk with its original beams and large banqueting halls with grand fireplaces.

Guests and paranormal investigators have reported sighting ghostly monks in the cellar (now a bar) and a 'grey lady' who roams the corridors.

We would just like to say what a fantastic evening we had at Hitchin Priory last night for our 1st experience. The actors were sensational and the food was fabulous. Can't wait to do our next one.
We have just attended The Director's Cut in Hitchin. What a brilliant night we had, we didn't get the killer but had a fabulous time trying. The whole set up was very well organised, the actors were really convincing and didn't break character once, even when my husband was interrogating them, (I saw a whole new side of my husband????) The food was lovely and we stayed over in Hitchin Priory, it is a bit dated but clean and comfortable, the staff were also extremely friendly. Thanks so much for a brilliant time, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had a fantastic evening at the Hitchin Priory murder mystery evening.

From start to finish it was a great experience and a great atmosphere. The venue was very good, the food was excellent.

What however stood out was the superb plot, and the actors and actresses were absolutely brilliant - all of them made the whole story believable, and their acting skills were spot on staying character and answering the questions and providing the info we needed to help make our decisions.

The way they interacted at different stages with each table, then acted out the different scenes made this event even more enjoyable and prompted us to ask questions

We would highly recommend attending one of these events and we would definitely go again.
This is to let you know that myself and my guests had the most amazing night on the 16th October 2021! The story was brilliant. The atmosphere was electric. The actors were fabulous! All in all a great night.......So thank you!
I would like to let you know what a fantastic time my friend and I had on Saturday. Great friendly actors, venue was lovely and food and service was very good. We sat at a table with like minded people, it was a fun filled evening. Would recommend this event to anyone, oh and by the way we got the murderer right.
Had a fantastic evening at Hitchin on Saturday. It was really well presented by the cast & my cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Many thanks to everyone.
Thanks for such a brilliant night last night. We really enjoyed our murder mystery experience. Well played by everyone.
