People are invited to explore the wonders of the human body at a free family event in Burnley.
To mark World Anatomy Day on the 19 October, the University of Central Lancashire is hosting an interactive event to help people understand human anatomy in a fun and creative way.
Designed for people of all ages, the free event at Victoria Mill will include getting hands-on with practical models of muscles and organs, examining real tissue and blood samples under a microscope, creating a wearable paper model of the brain and taking part in the organ tidy up challenge.
