Children are being invited to try out ‘simple surgery’ used in medieval times.

Bourne Hall Museum Kids Club will learn about the wounds inflicted during battles and the treatments used.

The session, called Hack, Slash and Heal, will take place at Bourne Hall in Ewell in June.

Organiser David Brooks said: "We will be using some make-up for fake wounds. They will try some ‘simple surgery’."
