About this event

"Watson, I'm sorry to say but they are dead, murdered, killed! This will be our toughest investigation yet, get my coat and my hat!"

When a body is mysteriously found lying in the middle of Landsdown Manor Gardens, the police have no option but to call on Sherlock Holmes and persuade him to take on his toughest case to date. With his loyal assistant Watson, our nation's top detective duo battles through baddies and villains to discover who is behind the murder in the garden.

Brought to you by award-winning comedy troupe Calf 2 Cow (The Jabberwocky), this brand-new adaption is an outrageous comedy full of slapstick, multi-rolling and of course pumped full of live music and rock n roll.

Celebrating all of Sherlock's wonder, mixed with a fresh take on a brand new tale, this will certainly be a comical night out that will leave you smiling.

Suitable for 12 plus - There will be blood…

Produced by the Garden Theatre Festival and Calf 2 Cow, Supported by The Point, Dorchester Arts, Emerge & Arts Council England.

Gates will open at 6.30pm with performances starting at 7.30pm.

Bring your chairs, blankets and cushions to sit on. Please come prepared for the weather as performances will continue come rain or shine! We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these can obscure the view for other people in the audience. Please feel free to bring picnics and drinks!

Organised by

Southwark Cathedral has been a place of Christian worship for over 1000 years. Established as a small convent, it grew over the centuries into a priory, which became a parish church and then, in 1905, the Cathedral for the newly created Diocese of Southwark which serves the whole of London south of the river.

The Cathedral’s patchwork architecture bears testament to its past as do the many monuments and memorials inside and outside the church. These are reminders of the rich history of this part of London and our association with such major figures in our creative history, including Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens.

Southwark Cathedral is a place of worship, welcome and friendship, to rejoice in or find rest when you’re weary. We are London’s community Cathedral striving to live the example of Jesus, seeking to be a spiritual home for all and set at the heart of Bankside, buzzing with people and activity, a vibrant cultural and commercial destination.
