Children's Halloween Party 2026

Enjoy potions making, a spooky stroll around part of our museum, food, and games at this free event aimed at 6 to 11 year olds. Join us for our FREE spook-tacular Children's Halloween Party at The Devil's Porridge Museum! There will be treats, fun and a few prizes up for grabs. Be sure to come in your Halloween costume, as there will be a Best Halloween Costume Competition for the young attendees! You can look foward to: • A party game and a spooky story, • Mixing your own witches potion that you can take home with you, • Drinks and food (this year we're planning on having a selection of fruit, so please do let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements when you book), • And a spooky stroll around the ground floor of The Devil's Porridge Museum in the dark for young attendees... This party is aimed at 6 to 11 year olds. Parents and / guardians are welcome to stay and watch for the duration of the party, but please be aware that places only need to be booked for the young attendees. Things to Be Aware Of... At this party there will be: • Flashing lights, • And there may be some loud noises. Our annual Children Halloween Party provides plenty of thrills and treats for young attendees. We are aware that some children can find Halloween scary, but rest assured our experienced team of volunteers and staff will be on hand all night to make sure that everyone is safe. Parents and / or guardians are also welcome to stay in The Devil’s Porridge Museum’s education room throughout the event. There are some parts of this party that children can find scary. Whilst we do encourage young people to take part in all activities, (as we have found those who are reluctant to do so will often enjoy the activity and be proud of themselves for taking part) we understand that sometimes children may need a break, and we will not force them to take part in a specific activity if they do not want to do so. We intend this party to be a fun experience for all the attendees! This party is aimed at 5 to 11 year olds. If you feel your child may be more sensitive to Halloween scares, you would be welcome to take a look at some of the other free family friendlyactivities happening during October half term.
