Pick up a free activity sheet at Museum Reception to our scary Halloween masks hiding in the exhibitions. 

Round off your object hunt with a visit to the Samhain display to learn about the origins, customs and traditions associated with Halloween. Discover how many of our modern Halloween celebrations were actually started long ago by our Celtic ancestors.

Scary Objects is a fun activity trail for families, suitable for children aged three to 10 years. This is a free, drop-in activity throughout the Midterm break. No booking required.

When you are finished your object hunt, be sure to bring your completed activity sheet to Reception to enter a free draw for our spooktastic Halloween hamper!
