Sherlock Holmes returns to City Library for National Libraries Day


Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are set to solve a second murder at Manchester 's City Library by popular demand - but they need your help to crack the case.

An additional interactive murder mystery event will run from 5:15 - 7:15pm on Saturday February 4, after the first event (2 - 4pm) sold out in a matter of hours. The two events have been organised to mark National Libraries Day, a day devoted to libraries, library users, staff and supporters across the UK.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary fictional detective, recently the subject of two major movies and a BBC TV series, is being brought to City Library by After Dark Entertainment.  A very limited number of free tickets are available for intrepid sleuths aged 16 and over.

Attendees will hunt for clues alongside the mastermind Holmes and his faithful companion Watson in a bid to unmask the culprit, who could even be Holmes' arch-enemy, the dreaded Moriarty.

Executive Member for Culture and Leisure, Councillor Mike Amesbury, said, "It's elementary - the murder mystery events at the City Library will be terrific fun.  Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are enduringly popular and still attract visitors to libraries after more than a century."

To book free tickets for the evening murder mystery event at City Library, Elliot House, 151 Deansgate on Saturday February 4 (5:15 - 7:15pm), visit www.sherlockreturnstocitylibrary.eventbrite.co.uk.
