22nd July 2026,  7.30pm, Cheese and Wine Bar Bakewell

Join us for a dramatic reading experience where you and I will bring this Sherlock Holmes adventure to life.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band is one of Arthur Conan Doyle's most popular Sherlock stories. The case begins when Sherlock Holmes is approached by a young woman named Helen Stoner. Troubled by the perplexing death of her betrothed twin sister two years ago, Helen is now set to be married herself. Strange sounds and sights around the house arouse her suspicions and prompt her to go to 221B Baker Street. So the case begins.

Whether you want to sit back and enjoy, or step into character and read, this is your chance to be part of the story. Come along to figure out what is puzzling Miss Stoner.

If the story itself isn't enough to tempt you, each ticket includes a cheese board to nibble or devour as our tale unfolds.

No experience needed, only enthusiasm!
