Booking

Advance booking essential.

This not-so-spooky event is perfect for all the family. There'll be no scares, so you can enjoy some relaxed crafting and make Hallowe'en decorations for your home.

Tuesday 29 October: 

• Transform a paper plate into a rocking witch riding a broomstick.
• Make a 3-D paper bat.

Thursday 31 October:

• Make a haunted house window with a friendly ghost inside, using lolly sticks and paper.
• Turn a paper plate into a pumpkin. 

Please note, this is not a 'taught class' - instead, we have an array of enticing materials and will show you examples of what you can make, or you may bring your own ideas! Our friendly facilitators will circulate to encourage and support, and will be on hand if you're unsure. Families complete the activity independently and at their own pace.

Best suited to ages 3+.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Seating is on communal tables but if you prefer a quieter space please contact Hannah.mackay-jackson@twmuseums.org.uk
