About
Join crime author, Diane Janes, for an immersive experience where you'll form a 12-strong Jury and begin a captivating debate - guilty, or not guilty? Join for a day, or more!
Discuss the evidence, form a verdict and find out what really happened on murder cases which took place between 1900-1974.
Diane has handpicked each case, chosen for their insight into the judicial system and changes of society’s attitude towards crime over the last century. This promises to be a thought-provoking week, all you need is an open mind.
Each day, two new murder cases will be revealed – so if you would like to book for more than one day, don’t worry, you’ll have a different experience throughout the week.
What will the course entail?
Participants will be expected to listen to the evidence, making notes as they go, then discuss the case and attempt to reach a verdict, based on what they have heard each day. No experience of the course from previous years, advance reading, or knowledge of the English judicial system is needed.
The cases chosen for your consideration will not be revealed in advance and just as in a real Jury Room, jurors will be requested to switch off all electronic devices and to put aside any pre-conceived ideas they may have, if they do happen to have heard or read anything about any of these cases previously.
Although these are all real cases, no distressing crime scene photographs will be used.
Participants should note that this course involves a lot of listening, as it is necessary to hear all the available evidence, prior to discussing the case and attempting to reach a verdict.
The course will run from 9.00am - 5.00pm each day, with registration taking place 15 minutes prior to the start time.
There will be breaks with refreshments (tea, coffee and cake) throughout the day.
£99 per day including access to Winchester Cathedral, refreshments, notebook and pen. Pre-booking essential. Book online, call 01962 857275 or book in-person at the Box Office inside Winchester Cathedral.
