A crime has been committed… can you crack the case?

Moorside Mill Mystery is an interactive, family‑friendly puzzle experience taking place at Bradford Industrial Museum on 12 August 2026. Families, puzzle‑lovers and curious detectives of all ages are invited to explore the museum, enjoy the summer weather, and work together to crack the case.

As you make your way through the historic mill buildings, you’ll meet live suspects, real people, played by our brilliant volunteers, each with their own story, secrets and suspicious behaviour. Interview them, test their alibis, and collect clues hidden around the site. Every clue helps you complete the Puzzle Grid and get closer to uncovering who’s really behind the Moorside Mill Mystery.

Alongside the mystery, families can enjoy hands‑on activities suitable for all ages, including face painting and a fun selfie station to capture the day. It’s the perfect summer outing, blending outdoor exploration, creative challenges and a dash of detective work.

Take part in the Moorside Mill Mystery for just £2 per person.
