Description

Join Dacre Stoker, international best-selling author and great grandnephew of Dracula author Bram Stoker, as he facilitates a hands on investigative session using copies of rare papers borrowed from libraries and archives around the world. 

Dacre will lead attendees into a literary treasure hunt searching for clues into Bram’s research and writing of Dracula in 30 documents. The goal is to discover evidence of the 101 pages, amounting to the first three chapters edited out of the Dracula typescript.

Participants will examine copies of Bram’s rare papers and offer their opinions. Dacre enlightens the group to better understand how each of these papers fit together like a puzzle to create the novel Dracula.

Suitable for Adults (18+).Booking essential. Limited places.
