Halloween Half Term Workshop: Spider Web Weaving

Torre Abbey is running a Halloween half term workshop on Saturday 31 October, with two sessions to choose from: 10:30–12:30 and 14:00–15:00. It's held in the Learning Lab, so it's tucked away inside the abbey grounds rather than out in the main gardens.

The main thing is spider web weaving. Kids get to weave their own spooky spider web and then design a Halloween-themed picture frame around it. From there, they can add creepy spiders, wriggly flies, and other frightful decorations to finish it off, and they take the whole thing home as a keepsake. It's the kind of activity that works just as well if you're into the craft side of things as if you're just there for the Halloween theme.

It's open to all ages, so it doesn't matter if you've got a toddler or a primary-schooler. The only rule is that children must be accompanied by an adult, so you'll be right there with them while they work. If you've got a couple of kids, you can just bring them both along and look after them yourself.

It's £2.50 per child, and accompanying adults go in free, so it's a cheap way to spend a couple of hours on Halloween. With two sessions running—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—you can pick the one that fits your day best.
