Join Kyla Hislop, Acting Head of Interpretation at Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust (IGMT), for a spine-chilling Twilight Tales talk exploring some of Shropshire’s most enduring ghost stories.

Held at the Coalbrookdale Glass Classroom, the talk will uncover the real events, places and people that inspired these tales, offering a fascinating blend of history and legend.
