A SPINE-tingling Halloween is planned for this half-term holiday in Warwick.
Heritage and Culture Warwickshire has lots lined-up to keep all the family entertained including a haunted house extravaganza and ghost stories at St John’s House, and a Potion Quest challenge at Market Hall Museum.
At St John’s House from October 29 to October 31, families can follow the tale of Rapunzel and the Witch, explore the transformed rooms of the house and embark on a spooky trail through the woods past Rapunzel’s tower.
Children can get hands-on with slime-making, potion brewing, and messy play, while adults enjoy refreshments from the onsite coffee van.
Behind the Door Productions is presenting An Evening of Ghost Stories by M. R. James at St John’s House on October 29. Performed by Toby Burchell in a candlelit setting, this one-man show brings to life two classic tales from the master of ghostly fiction.
The half-term fun continues at Market Hall Museum with a free family trail ‘Potion Quest’ available from Saturday October 25 until Saturday November. 1.
Young and old can explore the museum for objects that could be used to stir up magic potions and spells.
And on October 31, the museum is open until 8pm for the town’s Trick or Treat Twilight Market complete with a guess the weight of the giant pumpkin competition, Halloween gifts and sweet treats.
