By Functional Drinks Club

Overview

Reopen the chilling WWII mystery of “Bella in the Wych-Elm” with film, talk & live investigation led by author Andrew Sparke.


In 1943, four boys stumbled across a nightmare in the woods.

A woman’s skeleton, stuffed inside a hollow tree. No ID. No answers. No justice.


Her name? Bella.
Her story? Still unsolved.


Now, over 80 years later, we’re reopening the case.


Join Andrew Sparke, author of “Bella In The Wych-Elm”, for a dark and fascinating evening as we re-examine one of Britain’s most mysterious unsolved murders.


Was Bella a spy?
A witch?
A woman caught in the chaos of war?


The night features:

🎥 A short documentary film revealing the original investigation. 


📚 A gripping talk by Bella’s self-confessed obsessive, Andrew Sparke. 


🕵️‍♂️ A live group interrogation session where you’ll review the suspects, evidence, and motives yourself. 


The police couldn’t solve it.


The coroner’s report vanished.


Even Bella’s bones disappeared.


Can you uncover the truth?
