While Mother's Day is a notoriously busy day for most businesses, a Stockport bar decided eschew tradition and close yesterday evening to attend a 'live' autopsy event.
Enigma bar, a family-run bar on St Petersgate in Stockport town centre informed its customers on social media that it would be closed on Sunday evening to attend Post-Mortem Live at Eccles Sixth Form College in Salford.
Owners Kevin and Lisa, who opened the bar in Stockport eight weeks before the pandemic, found out about the event on Facebook and decided to take the hit on earnings by closing for the night and attending the four-hour event. The website for Post Mortem Live says it offers people the chance to get 'hands on' with real anatomical specimens of porcine origin contextualised into a simulated human body dissection.
