Lancaster City Museum is to host Histories of Touch, a free interactive workshop exploring the sensory past later this month.

How has touch shaped the way people understood the world across history? Join historians from Lancaster University and University of the Arts London for an interactive afternoon exploring the histories of touch through short talks, sensory activities and hands-on encounters with historical objects.

Tea, coffee and soft drinks will be provided for attendees.
