The group traditionally deliver a storytelling session at the museum, but coronavirus regulations mean the event will take place online this year.

A spokesperson said:

“Although the museum would usually be celebrating the festive season with a full events programme, doing our first online event gives audiences a rare chance to experience the historic building from home.

“This is an exciting new chapter for the museum.”

The event takes place on 21st December at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £6 or £3 for concessions, with a £3 ‘buy now, view later’ option also available.

“As the museum remains closed at this time, this is a great way to support the birthplace and the local arts in Lichfield.”
