Tours – Dreamy Place

Along These Lines

harley — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 16:00:08 +0000

Quiet Down There and sound artist Anna Edmonds invite you to experience their heritage soundwalk project Along These Lines.

Along These Lines is an immersive soundwalk that explores Brighton’s laundry heritage. Laundry is a distinctly aural and sensory experience – we often hear people talk of the sounds, smells and feels that come with a trip to the laundrette, and many local people remember someone in their family working in laundry services.

We know laundries have been a site for organising, meeting, and connecting for over 200 years, often becoming hotbeds of activism for women’s suffrage and solidarity, but so far these incredible stories have not had the recognition they deserve.

In this session, listeners will visit a selection of locations in and around The Level, Roundhill and Elm Grove areas to hear stories of local laundry history and how important these working women were to Brighton.

Please bring your own mobile phone and headphones for personal listening, headphones and splitters will be available for anyone wishing to share their listening with a friend.

Tickets are free, please book here

Clue Company – A Murder Mystery at the Manor

harley — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 20:44:09 +0000

An original experience created by Pier Pressure, inspired by a beloved classic board game. The world’s greatest detective agency, Clue Company, are looking for new detectives! Applicants will need to prove they’ve got what it takes by cracking the case before the other teams of wannabe detectives.

A grisly murder has happened in a grand manor house; none other than Brighton’s own Preston Manor. Who committed this heinous crime? Where did they do the deed? Which nasty weapon did they use? These are the questions you and your team of intrepid detectives will need to answer. The suspects are lining up, and they’re a dodgy looking bunch, so you’ll have your work cut out for you.

Choose your own route around Preston Manor to seek out puzzles. Solve these and they will give you the clues you need to unravel the mystery. Once you have all the clues you need, your team can huddle and make your deduction.

Will it be the right one? Have you got what it takes to bring the murderer to justice? Play Clue Company at Preston Manor to find out.

Please be aware that more than one team can play this game at the same time but there are plenty of different rooms to explore so you can avoid each other if you so desire!

Tickets start from £26 per person. For more information about this event and to book tickets click here
