An evening of ghostly, Halloween family fun… Chiltern Open Air Museum’s ‘Halloween Spectacular’ is back on 31st October and it’s going to be bigger and even better this year! Why not bring the family for an unforgettable, unmissable evening of spooky fun for all ages in the unique and atmospheric setting of the Museum’s historic buildings and woods. There will be trick-or-treating in the Museum’s historic buildings around the traditional Village Green, a visit to an eerie witch’s cottage, and a ghostly walk through the woods for those who are brave enough! Visitor Experience Manager Siân Hammerton-Fraser said, “Halloween is our favourite event of the year, there is friendly competition between our staff and volunteers to create the spookiest exhibit and I won’t even talk about the best pumpkin carving battle! We love coming up with new monsters and witches to spook our guests and amazing creative ideas for family activities! The Museum really comes alive in the twilight, and it’s great for visitors to see our historic buildings so atmospherically lit up.” There will be plenty of family-friendly activities, including Halloween-themed crafts, so that children have a spooky souvenir to take away along with their trick-or-treat sweets; a spooky labyrinth; Fire Breather; face-painting and storytelling! Hot food and drinks will be available on the Village Green, and children (and adults!) are encouraged to dress up for the event in Halloween costumes with a prize for the best! The event starts at 6pm and continues until 9pm, with last admission at 7.30pm. Advance booking is strongly recommended to beat the queues: www.halloweencoam.eventbrite.co.uk We are running a pumpkin carving/artwork competition and are asking groups, businesses and individuals to get involved. Entries need to be dropped at the Museum on the 30th and 31st October. All entries will be displayed along with the name of the artist(s) at our Halloween Spectacular with prizes awarded for the best ones.
