About

Discover a remarkable story, hidden for over 200 years – how most of the world’s first science fiction novel was written in Bath in the winter of 1816/17. And how Mary Shelley’s real life dramas were at least as extraordinary as her Creature.

Frankenstein in Bath takes you to the places where this forgotten story happened: where Mary Shelley lived, where she wrote, and where she kept her dark secrets.

Tour lasts approximately 90 minutes.
