A SPECIAL themed Halloween week will take place at the County Museum, at Hartlebury Castle, during half term.

Between Tuesday, October 25, and Friday, October 28, the museum will play host to four fun-filled days of children's activities, between 10.30am and 4pm.

Children will be able to join in autumn themed craft activities using natural materials collected from the grounds of the castle, including making boggart stick puppets, rustic mobiles and autumn crowns.

Halloween themed activities are also on offer including spider web catchers, peg bats and paper plate spooks.

And, throughout the week, children can have fun carving their own Halloween pumpkin to take home and follow a spooky tail around the museum to discover more than 1,000 years of history.

Pippa Ashmore, events officer, said: "Our half term craft activities are a great way to spend the holidays.

"There are fun and creative activities for all to enjoy covering the themes of autumn and Halloween.

"This year will also see the return of our very popular pumpkin carving sessions."
