Whispers of Treason - New for 2025

This Easter, join us in the shadowy world of Elizabethan intrigue with Whispers of Treason, a brand-new immersive experience at Harvington Hall.

The year is 1586, and England is rife with suspicion. The Queen’s spy network keeps a close watch on houses like Harvington, ever wary of treachery and secrets hidden behind closed doors. As you arrive at the Hall, you’ll be welcomed into the household—but beware! Among the faces you encounter may lurk spies planted to observe, report, and betray.

Put your detective skills to the test as you explore the historic Hall, piecing together clues and listening carefully to whispers of conspiracy. Speak with the characters you meet, but tread carefully—friend or foe, who can you trust?

Will you uncover the traitor in time, or will Harvington’s secrets fall into the wrong hands?
