Get spooky at Black Country Living Museum's Halloween Nights events this half term

The Black Country Living Museum has revealed its Halloween events for this October offering visitors the chance to discover nearly 300 years of curious tales, unsolved mysteries and nostalgic horror.

The award-winning museum, which has attracted more than 11 million visitors to experience the story of the Black Country since opening, is hosting an event which takes visitors back in time to join the historic police officers in their search for clues and discover myths and old wives’ tales.

The events are running this October half term, from October 24 to November 1.

Hannah Parsons, the museum’s head of development and communications, said: “There’s something really special about seeing the museum come to life at Halloween, and we can’t wait to welcome families back this October. There’s something for everyone to discover.”

Visitors can also dress up and explore the historic town by going door to door, collecting treats along the way, and interact with roaming characters.

The museum’s Halloween Nights are returning after hours, but bosses have urged those wanting to book to be quick as tickets for October 31 are already sold out and there are limited tickets remaining for Saturday (October 24), Thursday (October 29) and Friday (October 30).

There is also a chance to join the best-dressed costume competition, open to children and adults.
