A Worcester museum is set to host a gothic-themed creative writing event.

The event, Dark Archives | Gothic Adventures in the Museum, will take place on Saturday (October 19), from 11am until 3pm at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.

Attendees will listen to a talk by Dr Lucy Arnold on the theme of poisons, potions, and chemicals in literature.

Museum-goers will also be able to write their own gothic text inspired by Steward’s Chemist Shop.

The event costs £10, and attendees will receive a 10 per cent discount at Little Al’s Café.
