Murder and Mystery at your Next Corporate Function?

Corporate function venues can sometimes be all work and no play. Now and again you just need something to spice up your next corporate function - a little fun or an unusual activity maybe? But it is not always easy to find a venue that offers everything you need – and that little something extra you are seeking.

Well, look no more – how about adding a little murder and mystery to your next corporate function? You won’t find many corporate event venues that can add such excitement to your evenings!

Imagine a themed evening based on the popular Cluedo board game and asking, ‘who killed Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the study?’

Well Woodlands of Marburg has a rich history of hauntings and suspicious deaths – just ripe for an evening of murder and mystery.

Woodlands of Marburg business conference centre

By day, Woodlands of Marburg is one of South East Queensland’s most premier corporate event venues. We provide first class accommodation, dining and business facilities for all your corporate conferences and team building events.

Our business conference centre is surrounded by beautiful woods, vineyards and landscaped gardens and it is a real pleasure to spend time here. The Woodlands Mansion was built in 1890 by local architect George Brockwell and it is an elegant old building, now fully restored to its original beauty. 

Murder and Mayhem at Woodlands of Marburg
By night, this historical building becomes the venue for murder and mayhem! Deep underground lies the old sandstone cellar, roofed by dark hardwood beams, with only flickering candlelight to see by. And this is where up to 30 friends, family or conference attendees can meet for a memorable evening of murder and mystery.

Our venue provides the perfect setting for you to have a wonderful evening among friends. These themed events deliver all you need to create fully costumed affairs. Watch the laughs as everyone gets into character and tries to solve the murder mystery.

And to add an extra bit of spice – the Mansion is said to be haunted by its original owners. Many locals say that the spirits of priests who lived here when it was a seminary still roam the corridors. And a former maid who was pushed to her death down the master staircase still cries out in despair.

So if you are looking for corporate function venues or a business conference centre with a difference – and you dare to venture into the sandstone cellars at night, call us on 07 5464 4777 or complete our online enquiry form – and ask about our Murder mystery Packages.
