VISITORS to Hall Place in Bexley can prepare themselves for a number of educational and eerie meetings this month.

May has been officially recognised as museum and gallery month and Bexley Heritage Trust has organised a few special events.

Members of the public are invited to visit the gallery to meet the resident artist Vanilla Beer on Thursday afternoons to see how an artist really works.

Special workshops will also be run for secondary school pupils.

The trust will also open its doors to visitors until 8pm on May 15 and 17 for a guided tour of the grounds and the possibility to meet the ghost of the Black Prince which has been haunting the hall since the 12th century.
