THE Smithy Heritage Centre will host an event as the topics of archaeology and history are transformed into stand-up comedy.

'Pictorial Cabinet of Marvels' will see a talk by Mark Olly accompanied by a wine and cheese evening at £5 per person.

The Victorian-style picture show will cover a whole host of weird and wonderful facts, stories, photographs and research presented in Mark's own inimitable style.

The talk takes place on Thursday, April 25 at 7pm. See smithyheritagecentre.org.uk and get in touch on smithyheritagecentre@hotmail.com or call 01744 730744.
