The Museum
The museum is suitable for all ages, but you might wish to warn children there are figures in some of the exhibits to enhance the experience and atmospheric lighting.
There are lots of interactive elements: from a touchscreen; videos to choose from; a feast to sit at; a throne to perch on and a four poster bed to lie on. You can take part in a written witch trial; go in the stocks or try your hand at quill writing in the school room.
Tickets cost: £7 for adults, £6 for concessions and £4 for children. Family tickets are available. A quiz for the children is included in the price of entry.

Halloween – The Haunted House
22nd October until 5th November
During the Samhain festival (Halloween) the souls of those who had died were believed to return to visit their homes, and those who had died during the year were believed to journey to the otherworld. People set bonfires on hilltops for relighting their hearth fires for the winter and to frighten away evil spirits, and they sometimes wore masks and other disguises to avoid being recognized by the ghosts thought to be present. It was in those ways that beings such as witches, hobgoblins, fairies, and demons came to be associated with the day. Are you brave enough to enter this haunted building at Halloween and perhaps come face to face with one of the ghosts? Do you dare?
