Free–£9

About
A family half-term trail and craft event at Elizabeth Gaskell's House, with a Cranford the Cat trail and monster-making in the Servants' Hall.
Families can follow the Cranford the Cat trail through the House, solving games and puzzles in each room, then make their own 'sill-haunter' monster craft in the Servants' Hall to take home. Activities are self-led and available on open days during October half-term, with hot chocolate and refreshments in the Tea Room. Children under 16 go free with a paying adult, and adult tickets are valid for 12 months.
