Watch out for the leeches.

The gory secrets of surgery from the past will be revealed when the Barber Surgeon returns to Allhallows Museum in Honiton.

Visitors can discover how a barber surgeon would have worked during the 16th and 17th centuries and meet some blood-sucking leeches.

The event is suitable for all ages and takes place on Saturday (October 22) from 11am to 12pm and again at 1pm to 2pm.
