There will also be the chance to explore the birthplace of one of England’s greatest writers in a unique, behind-the-scenes, gas-lit setting outside of traditional opening hours.

Museum hosts and Lawrence experts will be on hand to help guests learn more about the Lawrence legacy, answer any questions about the exhibits and get in the Lawrence spirit.

Carolyn Melbourne, museum and collections officer, said, “Our museum is one of the few places nationally that still has working gaslight in the rooms.

"Because of the gaslight, the atmosphere in the evenings is particularly special.

“That, combined with a little gin tasting, makes the gin and gaslight events a memorable evening out.”

The event takes place on Friday, October 9 from 7pm to 9pm at the museum on Victoria Street.
