A SPECIAL workshop is offering the chance to explore fascinating maps at The Hive later this month.

Maps housed by Worcestershire's Archive and Archaeology Service will be explored during the Explore Maps event on Saturday, March 24, from 10am to 3pm.

Paul Hudson, learning and outreach manager for Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service, said: "Maps are fascinating and are very visual so always attract attention.

"In this workshop we'll help people discover more about the many types of maps that we have and how to search our collections, so people can get the most out of them."

The Archive and Archaeology Service houses a vast array of maps at The Hive and people who sign up for the session will be able to discover more about local and house history, as well as archaeology.

Places at £18 each are limited and need to be booked in advance.

The session is taking place on the Explore the Past Floor of The Hive on Level Two.
