A DARK and creepy evening is being created for an alternative Christmas treat.

The University of Bolton has teamed up with Chetham’s Library for this year’s Christmas Cornucopia — event at Chetham’s on Thursday, December 16 from 6pm. Professor Heard, the world famous Magic lantern projectionist, will be performing his new show in the mediaeval banqueting hall.

Mulled wine and mince pies will be available and the show is not suitable for young children.

Tickets are £10. To book contact Rebecca Albrow by email RA Albrow@bolton.ac.uk or by telephone on 01204 903332.
