About this Event
Join the Mad Scientists of Cornhill Market and help hatch, grow and care for a brand-new generation of monsters this Halloween!
Deep beneath Cornhill Market, a secret laboratory has discovered something extraordinary. Strange magical energy has caused friendly but mischievous monster eggs to hatch beneath the market, and now they need help.
For one week only, the Cornhill Monster Incubation Lab is recruiting Junior Scientists to work alongside our Mad Scientists. Help incubate eggs, study curious creatures and take part in a series of exciting monster-themed experiments as you help prepare the newest generation of Cornhill Monsters for life above ground.
