Transcript

00:00We're here at the True Crime Museum on Hastings Seafront, enjoying our 11th Dress Up Your

00:08Dog Day, which we hold every January and we invite customers to come into the museum for

00:15a free visit as long as they bring in their dog in a crime related costume. Sometimes

00:21it's not a crime related costume but generally we get criminal dogs and police dogs and dogs

00:28dressed up as gangsters and all sorts. We do have some dressed up as fruit and vegetables

00:34and clowns and all sorts of other things but it's generally a bit of fun in January which

00:39is quite a quiet month for us. We're just about to decide our Valentine's Night. We

00:45have a late night opening at the museum where gruesome couples come along and see all their

00:55exhibits especially those related to killer couples. We've got some exhibits, new exhibits

01:02relating to Fred and Rose West in there and they come along and have a night of fun in

01:10our caves. It's for those with a morbid taste for what to do on Valentine's Night so that's

01:18coming up. We've got lots of new exhibits going in there throughout the year and we're

01:22expanding the exhibition as we enter our 11th year.
