Spooktacular Half Term at Shoemakers
Shoemakers gets Spooky this Halloween and half-term with workshops, after-dark opening, costumes, storytelling, and trails.
Join us this October Half Term for a week of family-friendly but ever so spooky Halloween fun at Shoemakers Museum.
All week follow spooky trails through the galleries, listen to ghostly tales from the past, create eerie crafts and come dressed in your favourite Halloween costume. Discover the museum after dark on Friday 30 October with a later night torchlight trail around the galleries and decidedly creepy visitors Rosie and Posie to help or hinder your journey – visit if you dare!
Plus lantern and puppet making workshops to prepare you for Halloween trick or treating and other autumn events. Begin your trick or treating at Shoemakers Museum.
