The Beaney How to get here

The annual family Halloween trail at The Beaney.

  • Fright at the Museum: Prisms & Potions

Don’t miss our annual spooktacular fundraiser! 

Join us this Halloween at The Beaney for Fright at the Museum: Prisms & Potions. 

At this time of year something odd always seems to happen at the museum and this October is no different… 

We need your help! An evil alchemist, BLANCHE THE BLAND, is trying to drain all the colour and fun from The Beaney! 

This interactive Halloween trail is fun for the whole family. Together you will solve puzzles, pick up clues and discover treasures from the museum collection. Complete the trail, receive a tasty treat and enter a competition for an even bigger prize! 

Can you solve Blanche’s puzzles and games? Help us banish the beige! 

Prisms & Potions trails cost £5. Trails can be shared but the participation prize and competition entry is limited to one per trail. 

Accessibility: For an accessible way to take part in Fright at the Museum: Prisms & Potions, borrow a SEND Family Backpack when purchasing your trail and pickup the sensory Halloween resources and Fright at the Museum Symbol trail.

Saturday 5 October – Sunday 3 November 2024 (Closed Mondays except Monday 28 October)

 

Spooky Saturday  

On Saturday 26 October we’ll be turning down the lights and getting even spookier. Join us in fancy dress for Halloween fun!
