Spooky Streets
Step into the spooky streets of Abbey House Museum this half term for lots of family fun!
Wander our authentic spooky streets to encounter scary the residents of our Victorian shops and houses in a wicked new way. You’ll find witches making potions from the ingredients in the chemist, spooky spider webs, headless ladies pulling carts, and skeletons pulling pints!
Come dressed as your favourite spooky character or dress up as a Victorian to pose for petrifying pictures in our photographic studio. There will be a tricky trail and a monster bag of crafts and activities to take home. Suitable for all ages.
Free with admission. Last admission all days 4.30pm.
