Join us for a trip to see the world’s longest-running play, The Mousetrap is a legendary West End institution created by the iconic mystery writer Agatha Christie. It first opened in 1952 at the Ambassadors Theatre, before transferring in 1974 to its current home at St Martin's Theatre, where it has continued its record-breaking run. This legendary whodunnit invites you to join a group of strangers stranded in a countryside guesthouse as a murder unfolds—and everyone becomes a suspect. With its timeless suspense and unforgettable atmosphere, it remains a must-see for theatre lovers and Christie fans alike. There will be free time in London before the matinee performance, perfect for sightseeing or lunch.

When one of them is killed, the tension rises as everyone becomes a suspect. Christie’s clever plotting and famous twist ending have delighted audiences for generations.
