Spooky season is coming to Erewash Museum with a week of
Halloween fun during half term. The museum is celebrating Halloween with themed events
and a ghostly adventure from Monday 24th to Friday 28th October. From 11am to
3pm, there will be a trail where children can search the house for clues to
find the black cat and in the hayloft, children will be able to make monster
hand puppets for free. On Tuesday October
25th the museum is hosting a spooky adventure called, ‘The Ghosts of Dalby
House’ where participants can solve puzzles to help the friendly resident
ghosts and earn a prize along the way – the event cost is £2.50 per participant
and doesn’t require booking.
On Thursday October 26 visitors can bring in
non-battery operated toys that are in good condition to swap with other
visitors. This event was popular during the recent Games Week and is returning
for half term. Both the Georgian house
and the gardens will be fully decorated for the holiday. The volunteer-led tea
room will also be open throughout the week serving a variety of drinks and
snacks.
Councillor Carol Hart, Leader of Erewash Borough
Council, says: “Erewash Museum
is once again hosting a fantastic event perfect for all the family. The
Halloween week is set to be full of exciting and slightly spooky activities to
entertain children this half term holiday. I look forward to seeing the museum
transform for the season and look forward to hearing about everyone’s ghostly
adventures!”
Erewash Museum is located a short walk
from Ilkeston’s Market Place. Admission is free for both the house and gardens.
