You can dissect a human body in a touring event that's coming to Welsh cities

If you have ever wanted to solve a murder or dissect a body then now is your chance. For coming to Wales in May 2022 is a new live event, which allows you do do just that - but it's not for the faint-hearted.

The Post-Mortem Live offers people a rare insight into a post mortem and audiences will actually dissect the human body to learn about the organ systems, including a real kidney, stomach, intestines, lungs and heart.

Audiences will be told they are solving the case of a Rachel Harri who was last seen at around midnight on October 1 before her body was discovered on December 18. They will have to work out how she died and use forensic entomology, the study of insects, to try and work out how long the body has been left for dead. To do this audiences will pull live maggots and pupae casings from the dead body using forceps.

Tickets cost £79 for a premium ticket and £59 for a standard ticket with discounts including a Blue Light Ticket and Student Tickets also available.

Each show is four hours long and will be led by award-winning human anatomist Sam Piri from whom you will learn more about CSI, pathology, and forensics. For more What's On news sign up to our newsletter here.
