Inspired by 'Dead Man's Folly'
Nasse House, the setting for 'Dead Man's Folly' was inspired by Greenway; the house, garden, Boathouse and surrounding countryside feature in the story from the 1950s. The murder mystery centres around a fête being held in the garden, complete with a fortune teller and a staged murder hunt.
Recreating the fête
At the Greenway fête, traditional fête stalls and activities will be in place in honour of the 1950s setting, from a coconut shy to a plant stall, a bird of prey appearance, second-hand book stall, to games like ball in a bucket. A fortune teller will be in residence, and a treasure hunt trail will be paying homage to the story's staged murder hunt. There will even be a fun dog show and a vintage stall.
There will be a small charge at the stalls: the money raised will be helping to care for Greenway for ever, for everyone. Normal admission prices to Greenway apply.
Fun dog show
Throughout the day there will be fun competitions for your four-legged friends to enter. Each competition costs £2, and the winners will be chosen by special guest judges.
Why not bring your dog along for a bit of light-hearted competition? Please remember to keep dogs on short leads at all times, and to pick up any mess your dog makes and dispose of it in the bins provided.
