Free drop-in Halloween craft session for families to make transport-themed crafts, from ghost buses to creepy horse and carriages.
Spooky Transport is a family craft session at the Streetlife Museum on Wednesday 28 October, from 1pm to 3pm. It's a drop-in, so you can just turn up with the kids and get stuck in. The whole thing is free, and they're encouraging everyone to come along in Halloween fancy dress, which is a nice touch if you've already got the costumes sorted.
The session is all about making spook-tacular transport-themed crafts. They're talking ghost buses and creepy horse and carriages, so it's a chance to take the museum's theme and give it a Halloween twist. It's a proper family activity, and since it's a drop-in, you don't need to worry about booking ahead—just show up when you can.
If you've never been, the Streetlife Museum is in Hull's Museums Quarter and holds more than 200 years of transport history across six galleries. You'll find bicycles, carriages, motorcars, and railways on display, alongside a look at street life through the years. Among the treasures are rare cars dating from 1897, part of the 1900 motor show, a 1940s street reconstruction, and the original Cottingham North signal box, which was moved to the site brick by brick. You can even ride the Hull to York Mail Coach and take in the smells of a working stable.

It's worth remembering that the museum sits right next to Wilberforce House and the Hull & East Riding Museum, and both of those are also free to enter, so you could easily make a whole afternoon of it. The session runs from 1pm to 3pm on Wednesday 28 October, and it's free to join.
