AN international psychic is to bring the people of Worcester closer to the dead - on what is traditionally the scariest evening of the year.

But organisers of the event hope residents won't be frightened as they bring people into contact with loved ones.

Ye Olde Talbot Hotel, in Friar Street, is to welcome Peter Macdonald, who will hold an 'Audience With...'

A further six mediums will join him on the night, as well as tarot, palm and crystal readers.

Mr MacDonald has been a professional psychic consultant for more than 20 years and has gained the reputation of being one of the world's leading psychics.

He has practices in the Cotswolds, where he lives, in London and in Paris and Geneva.

Entry to the evening is £10 per person. This also entitles people to a buffet and entry into a prize draw.

The evening starts at 6pm when people can pay extra for an individual reading, while Peter Macdonald takes centre stage at 7.30pm. For more information call 01905 23573.
