Fearsome Family Fun Day

All activities will be on the 4th floor of 66 Portland Place.

Join us for a free Halloween themed family fun day of stories, building and making.

Treacherous Tunnel, drop in.

Dare you enter our terrifying tunnel of spooky architectural features? First, we need your help to make it scarier! You can make more creepy columns, ghastly gargoyles and frightening finishing touches on our scary Halloween tunnel.

Haunted House pop-up model making, drop in.

Create a spook-tacularly petrifying pop-up haunted house to scare your friends and family this Halloween. We’ll be inspired by haunted house design in comics, cartoons and films, as well as classic Victorian gothic architecture to create our models. We’ll then add witches, ghouls and monsters to bring them to life.

Spooky Stories, 11.30am, 1pm and 3pm (approx. 45 minutes duration).

Have you ever wanted to explore a haunted house? Join storyteller Olivia Armstrong for a seasonal adventure, woven from fantastic folktales. She will take you on a journey up creaking stairs to explore the hidden corners, from under the bed, to up the chimney.

Learn traditional methods to protect your home from thunder, lightning and ghostly spirits, and be prepared to scare yourself silly in this storytelling session for the brave at heart.
