The spooktacular Halloween event is perfect for children between 5 and 12 years of age and up to three children go FREE with each adult admission making the event a great value for money day out.

The pretty glass pumpkins will be on sale in the Museum Gift Shop with 100% of proceeds going to charity. Fifty percent will go to Ayrshire-based Whiteley’s Retreat, which provides short breaks for children, young people and their families with cancer and life altering illnesses. The other 50% will go to caring for the Museum’s national heritage collection.
Ghost hunting Halloween visitors can take up the challenge of the Museum’s Monster Trail with a certificate for everyone finding all the monsters hiding around the vast Linthouse!
