Beastly Boxes
Are you brave enough to reach inside our touchy feely boxes? As the sun sets in the courtyard you can explore. Look hard and you might discover some hidden secrets or create some spooky shadows. What will you find when you shine a torch in our dark boxes? For a gentler experience, play with shadows, making your own and finding ours in the shaded area.
Free with Museum entry, 4.30pm to 7pm.
Spooky Storytelling
Join in with scary stories from The Witches told by our expert storytellers. They will bring the story alive with actions and noises. Be warned, this is a scary story – not for the faint-hearted!
Free with Museum entry, at 5pm, 6pm and 7pm.
Twit or Treat Trek
Collect your map and explore the high street to find the Twits’ 5 tricks hidden amongst various sites that inspired Roald Dahl’s books. Solve the riddle using these clues and return to the Museum to claim your free treat.
Free with Museum entry, pick up your trail from the ticket desk.
Mischief Makers Trail
Pick up our mischievous trail and explore the galleries. When you’re done head back to the ticket desk for a trick or treat prize at the end.

Mischievous Halloween Masks
Make your own Halloween mask. In Roald Dahl’s stories there are lots of mischievous disguises: Witches hide their tell-tale witchy features and Wolf disguises himself as Grandma! What disguise will you make? Use a range of craft materials to make a special mask that allows you to change from one character to another. Why not use it to go trick-or-treating this Halloween?
£2 per mask. Drop-in from 4.30pm to 7pm, pay at the Museum.
Dress Up!
Come in Halloween fancy dress to receive your exclusive ‘I’m Fantastic’ rosette when you arrive.
