Friday 17th May from 6.30pm

This year Museums at Night falls during Dying Matters Week, so we’ve taken the opportunity to open late and talk death!

We’ll be kicking off with a FREE Death Café at 6.30pm, facilitated by Laura Joyce our writer in residence. In the Death Cafe there are no hierarchies. We all meet simply as people who are going to die. This an agenda free discussion, with the topics determined by attendees. There will be tea and cake and an optional tombstone biscuit decorating activity. Booking is essential as places are limited. Donations for refreshments would be gratefully received. Book your free place here.

Then from 7.30pm there will be the chance to experience an atmospheric evening guided tour of the Victorian factory with one of our award-winning tour guides. Tickets for the evening tour are £15, booking is essential as places are limited. Book your ticket here.
