About This Event

Explore mystery sensory boxes, hunt ghosts across the Henry Brown, create pumpkin art, and brew magical potions! Step inside the Henry Brown Centre and prepare to investigate, create and experiment as you take on a series of fun Halloween-themed challenges... 👻 Explore the Mystery Sensory Boxes Put your senses to the test with our mystery sensory boxes! Reach inside and feel, explore and identify a variety of mysterious objects and textures without looking. Will you be brave enough to work out what's hiding inside? 🕵️ Hunt the Ghosts & Solve the Murder Mystery Something mysterious has happened at the Henry Brown Centre… and we need your help to work out what! Set off on a ghost hunt around the centre, searching for clues, piecing together the evidence. Follow the trail and use your detective skills to uncover what happened. Can you solve the mystery before the ghosts disappear? 🎃 Create Your Own Pumpkin Decoration Get creative and design your very own Halloween pumpkin decoration to take home. You'll have the chance to decorate your pumpkin however you like - spooky, silly, creepy, cute or completely unique! Your finished creation can be taken home and reused as part of your Halloween decorations, giving you a handmade spooky decoration to bring out year after year. 🧪 Brew Bubbling, Colour-Changing Potions Step into the role of a Halloween potion-maker! We'll be mixing up some wonderfully weird and colourful concoctions using a variety of ingredients to create bubbling, fizzing and colour-changing potions. 👨‍👩‍👧 Important Information All children under 16 must be accompanied and supervised by a parent, carer or guardian for the duration of the event.
