From the Cradle to the Grave: Horrors from the Victorian Era

Join us for a night of historical Halloween horror!🎃

Meet Nehemiah Bacon a Resurrectionist (or better known as a grave robber) and discover how he benefits medicine and maybe he will disclose the sleazier side of this trade!

Then meet author Eve Bacon, as she tells tales of Britain's baby farmers. Learn the sad fate of some illegitimate babies in Victorian and early 20th Century Britain and find out a Victorian's journey from the cradle... to the grave! 🪦

You will receive a welcome drink upon arrival and there will be a bar available all evening serving a selection of drinks to purchase.
