The Beaney’s popular annual Halloween Family Trail.
About this Event

Spooky season is coming up and we’re not surprised that something strange has been happening at The Beaney… A black cat called Ember has been seen late in the day, searching the museum and there are rumours of a witchy robbery in the works!

Help Ember and the other familiars solve interactive puzzles around the museum and rescue powerful objects from the collection. Complete all six puzzles to collect a tasty treat and enter a prize draw.

Age: Everyone welcome to take part, the trail is particularly popular with children aged 5 – 10. Younger children may need help with solving puzzles and reading.

Accessibility: Combine the trail with a SEND Family Backpack complete with PECS symbol trail. The backpacks have been made with care to support people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities to explore the museum. Inside each backpack are fidget toys, sensory aids and a soft toy ‘Beaney Buddy’.

£6 per family trail. One participation prize and competition entry per trail.

Pre-book your trail(s) online to avoid disappointment or purchase on arrival at the museum, subject to availability.

Saturday 4 October to Sunday 2 November 2025

Closed Mondays except for Monday 20 October

Spooky Day: Saturday 1 November 2025. Visit in costume and explore the museum as we turn down the lights and turn up the spooky!
