SUSSEX'S long history of folk magic and witchcraft is explored in a new exhibition at Horsham Museum.
'Double double, toil and trouble' takes a look at the strange world of folk remedies, witches, and fortune telling.
Assistant curator Jason Semmens said that Horsham law courts heard three witchcraft cases in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the town once had its very own white witch.
'Double double, toil and trouble' opened on Tuesday and runs until August 30.
