Museum After Hours: Discworld, On the Shoulders of Elephants

Friday 24 October, 6.30 – 9pm | Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum (The Mended Drum, Filigree Street, Ankh-Morpork)

Get your friends together on a Friday night as Museum After Hours steps into fantasy this October!

Enjoy music, themed cocktails, and get free entry to the autumn exhibition Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld: 30 Years of Paul Kidby’s Illustration.

In an evening inspired by Terry Pratchett’s brilliant Discworld, set foot on the flat planet and take part in the fantasy in ‘The Mended Drum’, Ankh-Morpork’s “reputable disreputable tavern”, at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.

Have a drop of scumble and dance to Discworld DJs Le Grande Fromage. Even Rincewind himself may put in an appearance. It’s a splendiferous way to start the weekend!

Free entry (including free entry to the exhibition during the event). No booking needed. Card and cash payments accepted at the bar.

Museum After Hours is aimed at adults, 18+.
