Spooks and Spectres: A Paranormal Halloween Adventure at Museum of East Dorset

Spooks and Spectres: A Paranormal Halloween Adventure at Museum of East Dorset logo

Something spooky is afoot!

This October half term, the ghosts of East Dorset are all coming to the Museum, and they are causing havoc with their ghastly ghostly trickery! Learn about the many ghostly legends of Wimborne and East Dorset on our paranormal trail, from prankster poltergeists to ghostly stagecoaches, and find where those spooky spectres are hiding! Dressing up is encouraged!

  • Halloween Trail: Follow the trail through the museum, find out some amazing ghostly legends, and learn a little about the historical world too.
  • Halloween Crafts: Enjoy some Halloween-themed colouring sheets and crafts, including making your own spiral ghost!
  • Spooky Dress Up: Come in your own Halloween costume, or dress up in one in the Growing Up Gallery!

And remember; keep your eyes peeled as you follow the museum path, as there could be ghosts and ghouls hiding anywhere… and collect a spooky reward and some Halloween sweets at the end of your hunt!
