Children invited to put their parents on trial for witchcraft at West Midlands Police Museum

Children will have the chance to put their parents on trial for witchcraft when a spooky courtroom experience returns to the West Midlands Police Museum this October half term.

Following the successful sentencing of the Big Bad Wolf during last year's Nursery Crimes trials, the museum is preparing to welcome even more creepy characters to the courtroom.

From October 28 to 30, the Lock-Up in Birmingham will host a series of interactive sessions where youngsters can take on the role of jury members and decide whether their grown-ups are innocent or secretly living double lives as witches.

Children will be tasked with hearing evidence, questioning witnesses and deciding whether the adults standing trial have been acting suspiciously.

The sessions will give young visitors the chance to uncover the truth before delivering their verdict on who is innocent and who is a witch.

The Halloween-themed trials will take place at 11am and 1pm each day, with participation included in the price of general museum admission.

Places on the jury cannot be booked in advance, with families instead invited to make their way to the museum's makeshift courtroom on arrival.

Visitors are advised to book their general admission tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

Tickets can be purchased through the West Midlands Police Museum website.
