The historic town of New Castle is nestled along the Delaware River just south of the Delaware Memorial Bridge and is an ideal location in which to hold a party or special occasion.  Riddlesbrood Touring Theater Company recently enjoyed performing an outdoor murder mystery party in New Castle, DE in a private backyard setting for a family birthday.  Our host chose the budget version of our hilarious “Shiver Me Timbers” pirate show.  The party guests loved our salty dog humor and eagerly accepted conscription into our motley crew of scurvy dogs.  If the weather cooperates, and your home can accommodate your guests, holding an event in your backyard can save money and is a special way to add a personal touch to your guest’s enjoyment.  Outdoor parties are fun and can be an inexpensive way to observe your next occasion.  If your party is too large to fit at your home, and your budget is flexible, you can often rent space at venues such as parks and recreational areas such as New Castle Battery Park.  If you have an event with a small crowd, many charming restaurants are ideal locations in which to host a fun, interactive game show or murder mystery party in New Castle, DE such as the historic, Colonial-style Jessop’s Tavern, or Nora Lee’s French Quarter Bistro.  

If your party is large, or you prefer an indoor venue, New Castle offers many popular choices such as the Buena Vista Conference Center, which can host an indoor event in their magnificent Greek-revival style mansion, or an outdoor function under their large comfortable Pole Shed tent located on their meticulously landscaped grounds.  The River Room at the New Castle Senior Center, and the Minquadale Memorial Hall can also accommodate events of various sizes.  Large gatherings have also been successfully held at the Sheraton Wilmington South Hotel and the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center.
