About
A free Halloween-themed family programme at Fort Nelson, featuring a Creepy Codebreaker trail and daily drop-in activities during half term.
Royal Armouries Fort Nelson hosts a free programme of Halloween activities for families from Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November, running daily between 10am and 4pm. Children can follow the 'Creepy Codebreaker' trail, helping the fort's caretaker Mr Grimm identify a mysterious creature spotted at night, with clues suitable for ages six to ten. Daily drop-in activities for ages three to eight include a game zone, Halloween crafts on weekdays, costume dress-up, den building, a witch's workshop and a dance-along Pumpkin Patch Party, with costumes encouraged. Pre-booking is essential due to site capacity limits.
