Spooky Halloween activities for families in the haunted galleries over October half term.
Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery is running its Halloween activities from 26 October to 1 November, right across the October half term. It's a family-focused run, so if you've got kids at home and you're looking for something to keep them occupied while they're off school, this is one of the easier options in town.
The activities are set in the museum's galleries, which they're calling haunted for the occasion. It's not a single event on a single night, but a series of spooky things to do over the course of the half term, so you can drop in when it suits you rather than having to clear a whole evening. The whole thing runs from Monday 26 October through to the following Monday, 1 November, which gives you plenty of room to fit it around other plans.
Because it's aimed at families, it's the kind of thing you can do with younger children in tow. The galleries are usually a quiet place, but for these dates they're leaning into the Halloween theme, so it's a bit of a different way to see the museum than you might normally. If you're in Portsmouth and need a way to burn off some of that half-term energy, it's a decent shout.
