Step inside the UK's biggest inflatable arena...
We're proud to tour The Murder Trial Live in the UK's biggest purpose built inflatable arena. This state of the art structure is the only one of its kind in the UK, and engineered to our exact specification, providing a large open arena with no internal support using just the physics of air. The walls are 2m thick, the outside is white to reflect light and heat with a black trim inside for the show. With a single span roof, the structure can support a 2.5 ton rig suspended from the ceiling.
It takes our team of competent site crew, structural engineers, electricians, AV crew and customer service team a total of 1800 hours to build and install the show in this unique space. After the show closes on the final day, we do a "Houdini", moving on to a new location leaving no trace we were ever there!
Our specialist show vehicles provide on site power, water and all the facilities to make your experience with us as close to a real tour experience that we can. The site has a purpose built kitchen facility to cater for 2000 jurors in fast paced, high volume pulsed servings. Our restaurant servers will serve your High Tea dining experience to your table in the arena once you take your seats. The site is access friendly, we install a level floor, and carpet the arena but please wear comfortable shoes as some parts of the floor might be uneven.

THE CASE
The Jack Brewer Murders
Jack Brewer has been charged with the murder of Julia Moores, Robert Harwin and Lee Barnes. Extensive police work and forensics suggests Brewer could have murdered up to 23 people over a period spanning a decade -their identities still unknown.
Julia Moores was last seen on the 31st December 2022 at a New Years Eve party in Barking, she was seen on CCTV walking North along the High Street towards the tube station at 2255 - after which she was never seen again. There is no digital footprint of her beyond the purchase of 4 bottles of wine on New Years Eve at 1854, and an Instagram post at 2044. On the evening of the 20th January 2023 police excavated remains at an allotment in East London following reports of a body.
Police immediately traced the owner of the plot to an apartment in Barking. Upon access, nothing could brace the officers for what they were about to discover... inside the flat were human remains found in squalid conditions belonging to at least 21 other people, their identities at present still unknown. Forensics confirm at least three bodies have been subject to cannibalistic activity. Human remains were found in the apartment alongside evidence leading to Jack Brewer's home in Finchley. Police raid the Finchley address on the 20th January 2023.
Extensive forensic work & post-mortem examination has confirmed the remains of two others to be Robert Harwin (reported missing July 2018) and Lee Barnes (reported missing December 2021).

BASED ON A TRUE STORY
WRITTEN BY REAL BARRISTERS
This years live show is based on the real life events of both Jeffrey Dahmer & Dennis Nilson, US & UK convicted serial killers who seduced and murdered their victims in cold blood.
Both men mutilated their victims bodies before disposing of the remains and in some cases partially consuming their flesh. The Jack Brewer Murders have all the similarities and hallmarks of a deranged serial killer. What evidence exists to say Jack Brewer is the man responsible? What will the Prosecution portray to you the Jury?
This year we invite you to join the jury for The Jack Brewer murders, is the man standing before you capable of killing over 23 people spanning a decade or are the complexities of the case such that we can't be sure? Is the man stood before you an innocent man?
