in films and TV series. Our topic will begin with an exciting trip to Whitby, the inspiration behind Stoker’s writing. Whilst there, we will take a tour around the town with Harry Collett who is an expert on Dracula and will show us all the places that are mentioned in the story. We will also visit the famous Whitby Abbey. As well as finding out about this gothic horror, we will be researching other famous Victorians; Dr Barnardo, Joseph Lister and of course the great Queen Victoria herself. Keep an eye out for the date of our first exhibition in November where we will be displaying all our Dracula themed learning.
