About this Event
The game is afoot at Bar Elysium! Step back into the shadowy world of Victorian London for an immersive evening where art and deduction collide. We've partnered with the starring cast of the Swansea Little Theatre, who will appear in full period costume from their acclaimed Sherlock Holmes production to pose as our principal suspects.
Throughout the evening, you will sketch the costumed suspects during timed poses, capturing their character and every subtle detail. Then, the master detective himself will present the crime scene, and you will have to analyze your own sketches for clues to figure out who the killer is.
Who is this for?
• Artists & Illustrators: A fantastic opportunity to draw dynamic, costumed models in a fun, lively setting.
• Mystery Lovers: Fans of whodunnits and immersive theatre who want to test their observation skills.
What to Bring
Please bring your own sketchbook and drawing materials (pencils, pens, charcoal, etc.).
⚠️ Important Note: Venue capacity is strictly limited to ensure everyone has a good view of the models. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets well in advance to secure your spot!
