Adults in Hull are being encouraged to dress up in capes and bring their broomsticks to a wizarding night at Hull Central Library.

Activities will include talks about witch trials in Hull, meeting birds of prey, and brewing cocktails.

He said: "Hull Libraries' Wizarding Nights for families have been a staple in Hull's events calendar for many years now, so it's wonderful that Hull Libraries are celebrating their 10th year of magical mayhem by introducing an additional, brand new Wizarding Night just for grownups."

Other activites will include air dry pottery, flower arranging, wand making, chess and looking at illustrations with Eleanor Tomlinson, who is known for her Jubilee Ma'amalade Tea drawing.

Admission is for over 18s only and tickets cost £10 each.
