Wisbech Museum's seasonal half-term event After Dark at the Museum is back again this year by popular request.

The darkened galleries will be open for families to explore by torchlight on Tuesday, October 28 from 4 to 7pm and as usual there will be craft and exploration activities to guarantee fun and goosebumps in equal measure.

This year, the Museum will also be joined by Fens Falconry, who will be bringing along some special feathered guests as part of the event.

Visitors will be able to meet a wise woman and learn about traditional fen remedies, make their own boggart slime (activity not suitable for under-fives), and discover the history behind witch bottles, keepsafes, and familiars.

Dressing-up for the event is encouraged, and visitors are reminded to bring their own torches; a limited number will also be available to borrow. Accompanying adults and under fives go free with a charge of £3.50 per child at the door. This event is aimed at families with children aged 6 to 11.
