A fantastic eek!sperience for all the family.

Put your spookometer to the test with the interactive activities.  Will you dare to put your hand in a snake box, grab a photo op with a bat or get up close and personal with a toad?  It’s a weirdly wild day out for the whole family.

Activities available:
Pumpkin carving: put your carving skills and creativity to the test with the pumpkin carving sessions.
Arts and crafts: are you ready for some Halloween-themed arts and crafts? Join in in the craft room.  The easels will be set up in the Lecture Theatre to let your creativity run wild.
