Could you survive a deadly Georgian doctor's visit?
From bone-saws to slippery leeches and blood letting tools to poisons and poultices, drop in to this hands-on session to explore the ghastly and gruesome tools that a Georgian Quack doctor might have used on his patients.
You can even make a herb pomander to take home to ward away evil smells that carried the deadly diseases of the Georgian age.
