Lisburn

Who Annihilated Liz In Lisburn?

The body of much loved local Liz Tench has been found in Lisburn. Although Liz’s body was found near Union Bridge in the river Lagan, we believe this was not where the murder was committed. The coroner confirms drowning was not the cause of death and so we need your help to confirm our suspicions about the murder.

The Lisburn Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, walking murder mystery trail.
Although the centre of Lisburn is fairly modern, on this route you will discover the other side of the town which contains a wealth of history. You’ll learn about the once-thriving linen industry, see many historical sites including the cathedral and beautiful Castle Gardens, and learn about the history of the town. You’ll come across some of the characters who shaped the area too, including Sir Richard Wallace who was greatly liked by the town’s population at the time.
The route is 2¼ miles, or 3¾ km, and starts/ends near the Lagan Valley Island complex.
This Whodunit trail is jampacked with over 30 clues in a booklet with several pieces of extra historical information.
The recommended time for this murder mystery is 2-3 hours, excluding refreshment stops.
Accessibility – this is a generally quite flat route, although some streets have inclines such as Bridge Street.
Refreshments – there are a number of options, including coffee shops, cafes, and stores. We just have to mention our favourite, Crema on Bow Street, which has extra-special sweet treats on Fridays – we love their rhubarb and custard cruffins!
