About

Visit the museum volunteers at Bolling Hall Museum and celebrate Halloween in one of Bradford’s oldest buildings.

Volunteer gardeners will help you plant a bulb to take home—after you decorate your pot in spooky style.

Enjoy seriously spooky storytelling throughout the day with library volunteers.

Bradford Literacy Trust Volunteer Champions will be giving away frightfully free Halloween books.

Pick up beastly bookmarks, hand-printed by the print volunteers at Bradford Industrial Museum.

Keighley’s Caterpillar Catering pop-up café will be serving freakishly fresh brewed coffee, hot chocolate, and teas. Get your beastly bakes on the day in the museum Cold Kitchen.

At the Fairies Wardrobe, little witches and warlocks can get their faces painted and meet magical book characters. Look out for the garden gazebo of magic (small charge applies).

Get creative with Young Ambassadors and craft volunteers to make chilling waxy bookmarks using natural dyes.

New this year: meet Colonel Richard Tempest, safely returned from battle in 1643. All Hallows’ Eve marks the end of the Old Year in the 17th century—a time when harvests fail and the cold sets in. Portrayed by volunteer David Schofield.
