Fright at the Museum: Tudor Traitors

“…we came last year and we’ll continue to come for as long as it runs!” – Visitor feedback

While looking over our Tudor wall, we found a stack of faded papers.

They reveal the workings of a secret organisation active almost 500 years ago in Tudor Canterbury. The secretive group were alchemists trying to create gold!

Help uncloak the shadowy figures behind this year’s mystery! Complete the trail and receive a tasty treat as your reward.

Saturday 3 October to Sunday 1 November 2026 (closed Mondays)

£6 per trail (includes participation prize and competition entry)

Age recommendation: Everyone is welcome to take part and the trail is very popular with children aged 5 to 10 years old. Younger children may require some help with reading. Our friendly staff can assist with puzzles.

Accessibility: If someone in your group would benefit from some sensory support of other ways of engaging with the trail, borrow a SEND Family Backpack upon arrival and pickup the sensory Halloween resources and Fright at the Museum Symbol trail.

Purchase on arrival or prebook to guarantee availability when you visit. Every trail sold supports the museum!
