Already, the lazy, hazy days of summer have gone, and we’re racing towards autumn. That means there is just this month left to visit Wymondham Heritage Museum. And we’re going out with a flourish. A spine-chilling one.

During half-term week from Saturday October 25th to Sunday November 2nd, we will be celebrating Halloween with free entry for children. Now’s the time to get your spookiest costume ready for your visit.

The museum will be decorated with seasonal decorations. For budding witches and warlocks, there will be games and a pumpkin trail around the museum with prizes. Dare you put your hands in the sensory box? Have a good feel around and see if you can guess what’s inside. Is it something nice, or have you got hold of something that perhaps ought to be in the witch’s cauldron?

The Tearoom will have themed cakes and snacks with free squash for children. On the craft table, there will be lots of bits and pieces for youngsters to make something spooky.

And of course, there are all the museum’s other displays and exhibitions to make it an all-round family visit. Remember the museum closes for the season on November 2nd, so only a few weeks left to come and discover the town’s fascinating, rich history.

In conjunction with Wymondham Business Group, the museum will be taking part in the Wymondham Scarycrow Trail from October 25th to November 2nd. Look out for the figure outside the museum.

Also, don’t miss Wymondham Town Team’s Trick or Treat Trail on Saturday 25th October. There are free treats for kids in costume from participating businesses. Dress up and come along to the museum for a surprise!
