Creepy craft-making, spooky story telling and scary shadow puppets are at the Maritime Museum this Halloween, with plenty to keep the children entertained.

Every day during half term from Saturday, October 22 to Sunday, October 30 children can have fun with the monstrous 'make and takes', creating witches masks, vampire bats and terrifying trick or treat baskets.

Spine chilling tales will be told by the museum's spooky story teller on Saturday, October 22, Sunday, October 23 and Tuesday, October 25 at 11.30am, 12.30pm and 2pm.

Children will also be given the chance to work with local artists to create an enchanting shadow puppet show on Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23 at 11am and 3.30pm.

All activities are all free with a museum entrance ticket, and children are able to take part in one creative craft activity per day.

Adult supervision is required.
