Paul Speed, Camp and Furnace director, said: "This is a must for any true crime fan and even the most avid may be surprised about what they learn.
"You will watch a fascinating time-lapse video of facial reconstruction on the skull of a discovered body, you will discover how common homicidal fantasies are while learning about things like hybristophilia and how victims (John and Jane Does) are identified too.
"You will truly discover the inner workings of a killer during this exclusive talk.
"We were aware that a lot of our staff were watching lots of crime documentaries on Netflix, so we started asking around and realised other people were also fascinated by this topic.
"We then started thinking about what we could do and seeing different events around the country before realising this would be perfect."
