Thackray Lates: Fright at the Museum

Face your deepest, darkest fears this Hallow’s Eve πŸ•·
Fear is the most common emotion we share – but what gives you the heebie-jeebies?
Franklin D. Roosevelt feared the number 13.
Nikola Tesla had a phobia of round objects.
Even Genghis Khan was afraid of dogs.
This Halloween, Thackray Lates return with an evening takeover exploring the history and science behind our fears. From peeing in public to being buried alive, being scared of spiders to being horrified by heights, find out the effect phobias have on our bodies. And maybe face some of yours on the way.
Expect a dose of myth-busting talks, performances, and craft workshops, all delivered with a spooky twist.
Fancy dress encouraged – come as your greatest fear. Clowns, dentists, commitment – anything goes.
Thackray Lates is our series of adult-only evening events, exploring unusual topics and untold stories through talks, medical experiments, workshops and performances.
