Thursday Murder Club at RHS Wisley

DATE

August 18, 2025

There’s murder among the marigolds as Netflix teams up with the RHS to launch the Thursday Murder Club in Bloom

The Thursday Murder Club takeover is set to delight fans in RHS gardens across the nation from August 22nd to 28th.

Look out for giant floral billboards, themed scavenger hunts and a tearoom takeover at RHS Garden Wisley to mark the arrival of the Netflix Originals film adaptation of Richard Osman’s much-loved book series.

Based on Osman’s international bestselling novel, and directed by Chris Columbus, the film stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie as the irrepressible retirees who solve cold case murders for fun before a thrilling turn of events leaves them with a real whodunit on their hands.

For a whole week and across five locations – RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey, RHS Garden Bridgewater in Manchester, RHS Garden Harlow Carr in North Yorkshire, RHS Garden Hyde Hall in Essex and RHS Garden Rosemoor in Devon – fans of the much-loved books will be able to immerse themselves in a heady combination of homicide and horticulture, all in the name of cosy crime fun.

RHS visitors can dive into the beloved The Thursday Murder Club phenomenon with an immersive experience across all five gardens. They’ll enjoy exclusive activities, clues, and prizes; from interacting with film billboards meticulously brought to life in flowers, to channel their inner sleuths in scavenger hunts for themed prizes.

For those with a taste for something truly killer, visitors to RHS Wisley can indulge in a murderously good afternoon tea at Joyce’s Tearoom. Named in honour of the character played by Celia Imrie in the film, the menu is packed with delightful nods to the gang, from Elizabeth’s Earl Grey (with a twist) to Ibrahim’s Calming Chamomile. And fans certainly won’t want to miss Joyce’s famous Lemon Drizzle or Ron’s must-try Sausage Rolls – some might say they’re to die for.

•          The Thursday Murder Club trail is included in the RHS Garden entry. Tickets for the gardens can be purchased online or on-site, see www.rhs.org.uk/gardens for details.

•          The Thursday Murder Club film will be in select cinemas August 22nd and on Netflix August 28th.
