On Friday October 31, families can spend a fun filled evening making monster masks, bloodcurdling badges and trick or treat baskets. 

Everyone is encouraged to get into the spirit of things by wearing fancy dress and taking part in a costume parade. Then, as darkness falls, discover ghosts and ghouls in the Museum's galleries as you set off on a torch lit tour.

Education Manager Stuart Slade says: "Anyone who's visited us for Halloween before will know that it's always a special event, but this year we're pulling out all the stops to make this an unforgettable fright night."

The fun runs from 6.30-8.30pm on October 31 and tickets are just £5.95 per person.  All children must be accompanied by an adult and the event is suitable for children aged five and above.  Places are limited so early booking is recommended.  Please call 01326 214546 for more details and to book your place.
