Kids' Ghost Hunter Tours

The National Justice Museum is running its Kids' Ghost Hunter Tours from 22 to 31 October, with slots at 4:30pm and 5pm. It's a Halloween-themed outing for children, and the museum is on High Pavement in the city centre.

The premise is simple: around Halloween, the museum becomes a hive of paranormal activity, and the house Ghost Hunter is getting a bit overwhelmed. Visitors are recruited to help them track down the pesky ghosts causing mayhem throughout the building. It's not just the ghost hunting, though — the tours include craft activities and spooky games, so there's plenty to keep smaller hands busy between the hunts. It's recommended for children aged 5 to 11, and the whole thing lasts around an hour.

If you're planning to go, there are a few practical bits to keep in mind. Tickets are £8.95 for a child and £7.95 for an adult, and all children have to be accompanied by a paying adult. It's a timed session, so they ask that you arrive ten minutes before your slot. Tickets are non-refundable, and since it's a run of dates rather than a single night, you've got a bit of choice on when to slot it in. Just a heads-up on availability: the 5pm slot on Saturday 24 October and the 5pm slot on Friday 30 October are already sold out, so you'll need to look at the other dates or the 4:30pm slots if those two don't work for you.
