Kate Travers, museum director, said: "Thanks to an Arts Council England grant, we can offer insight into how food has been prepared, shared, and enjoyed over time through a new display of 'Dr.

"Wall's Dining Table', historic food workshops and new poems from local writers, to bring our collection to life.

"We invite our local communities to celebrate 'The Language of Porcelain and Food' project with us on Sunday, October 6."

The day will feature a diverse range of activities, including the serving of refreshments on Royal Worcester at 11am, a festive Georgian pudding demonstration and tasting at 11.30am, and a mini poetry workshop titled 'From Pen to Plate' at 1pm.

Visitors can also enjoy new food and drink-themed poetry readings by Worcestershire LitFest poets at 1.30pm, who have also been invited by the museum to draw inspiration from the new immersive food history displays.

Throughout the day, there will be an opportunity to paint pineapple lanterns in the museum's ceramic studio.

The museum has reimagined the foods consumed at the dining table of 'The Porcelain' factory founder, Doctor Wall, including mince pies with real meat, pheasant, plum pudding, and a 'trick of the eye' hen's nest jelly.

Award-winning food historian, Dr Neil Buttery, has created a range of new hands-on historic food workshops taking place at the museum this October half term for families and during November for adults.

Dr Buttery, a project food historian, said: "Pupils will be able to get hands on and explore the historic processes of making junkets (a Georgian milk-based set dessert) with fruit compote.

"They will learn about the laborious and often overlooked roles of kitchen workers in 18th/19th century Britain, taking on these roles themselves and having a go at this popular dish of past centuries."
