The cost per child is £4. Please note that space is limited in the Victorian Kitchen, there is only room for one adult with each paying child.

Following that is a family fun day on Wednesday October 31, where there will be chance to make a witch's or wizard's hat along with a trick or treat bag in preparation for the big night.

Sessions run from 11am - 12.30pm and 1.30pm - 3pm. Places are limited so booking is recommended.
