About this event
The nights are drawing in and the shadows are taking over. Come and join us for a spooky half term this October! Join in with the eerie shadow puppet stories and songs in the Boat Hall, get creative in spooky Make & Take, and join the Museum trail!
What else is here
Explore 15 galleries over four floors, jump aboard boats, climb the 100-foot Lookout Tower, watch boat-building, go underwater in the Tidal Zone, discover stories of ocean adventures and survival, and sail miniature boats on the boat pool. What’s more, our scenic Waterfront Cafe will be serving spooky cakes.
It’s free!
