If you've ever wanted to take a look at what happens during an autopsy, this one's for you.
Whilst the event is clearly aimed at medical students, it's also open to the general public - so if you have a morbid fascination with cutting people open this is probably going to be well up your street.
The live post-mortem experience looks at what needs to be investigated to confirm how a person dies, moving on to dissection and examination of the head and neck, abdomen and thorax, before coming to a conclusion as to the cause of death.
Using "real anatomical specimens" from pigs, Internationally acclaimed anatomist Samuel Piri will lead the event, giving guests a glimpse into what really happens during a post-mortem.
He will guide his wider clinical team (and the audience) through the process, giving guests an up-close look at the complex human anatomy.
What's more, you'll even get the chance to have a go at the dissection of real specimens yourself.
The event description reads: "Samuel developed VIVIT - the world's only semi-synthetic human cadaver to train students anatomy in a contextualised format.
"We operate the only license in the UK permitting the use of real tissues in the teaching and training of human anatomy."
"Post-Mortem Live offers the chance to get hands on with real anatomical specimens of porcine origin contextualised into a simulated human body dissection.
"Using our state-of- the-art cadaver we'll take you quite literally into the bowels of the post mortem process where you'll have the chance to get hands on with real specimens, conduct real technical dissection and even ascertain the cause of death."
The tour will visit UK universities, and actually counts as four hours of accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if you're a student doing a relevant degree.
Ticket prices vary, with Blue Light and NHS discounts available. These include entry, plus basic PPE, masks, hats, gloves, printed anatomy diagrams, literature packs, specimens and clinical consumables.

Leeds City Council granted £1.6m to tackle rough sleeping by Christmas
A £1.6m grant has been given by the government to Leeds City Council to help tackle rough sleeping.
The funding has been allocated to Leeds City Council as part of the Government’s national Rough Sleeping Programme.
The overall target is to help rough sleepovers off the streets by Christmas through providing safe accommodation.
The council have said that voluntary organisations and charities will be able to help them reach this target.
The council report said: "This funding will be used for immediate interventions to ensure all those rough sleeping have an offer of accommodation by Christmas and support longer term sustainment of accommodation.
“The initial target is to provide a suitable offer of accommodation for everyone who is rough sleeping by Christmas 2026.
“Providing a path into supported accommodation and independent living is the key objective and sustaining this independent living with, where necessary, ongoing support to prevent any return to rough sleeping and homelessness.”
The government announcement spoke of the scheme: "The programme is intended to support people experiencing rough sleeping.
"People experiencing rough sleeping may have differing entitlements to housing and support depending on their individual circumstances, including their immigration status and eligibility for public funds."
The funding is intended to help provide immediate support for people currently sleeping on the streets, while also helping them access longer-term accommodation and the support needed to maintain independent living.
By working with local charities and voluntary organisations, the council hopes to ensure people are not only offered a place to stay but are also given the help they need to avoid returning to the streets.
