Zoo's session for spider haters
A seminar is being held at Dudley Zoo on Monday to help arachnophobes overcome their fear of spiders.

Hypnotist Tony Rae will start the day off with a question and answer session at the West Midlands attraction.

Those taking part in the day-long session will eventually be given the opportunity to be introduced to some of the spiders kept at the zoo.

The zoo claims 80% of people who have attended similar sessions have managed to overcome their fear of spiders.
