Monster Masks & Creepy Crafts

Time: 1.30 - 4.00pm

Join us for more family fun for Halloween in Torre Abbey's Learning Lab. Make a Monster Mask to take away and scare your friends and family, and a whole host of other creepy crafts! Suitable for everyone in the family - make them as simple or complicated as you like. Little ones can try following the clues in our Eek-A-Mouse Halloween Trail around Torre Abbey's historic house. Young people can take on the challenges of the Time Teen Travellers Trail - more tricky than you might think!

'EEK-A-MOUSE' HALLOWEEN TRAIL (for unders 11yrs )

We have nine naughty Abbey mice all dressed to kill for their Halloween fancy dress party. We hope you like their scary outfits. Each one has hidden himself near his favourite spooky work of art or... ghost story connected to the Abbey. Can you find them and work out what spooky word they all spell out?

TIME TEAM EXPLORERS TRAIL (0 - 100 yrs!)

Unravel the threads of time – follow our trail and pit your minds against our clues, cryptic or otherwise to win the Time Team Challenge’. Our medieval canons were forbidden speech - find the three rooms in the Abbey where speech was permitted. How could you communicate if you were denied speech...and no.... texting is NOT the answer!

You are defeated, starving, cold and wet, far from your homeland and you cannot understand the hissing sibilant speech of your heretic jailers. Who are you and why were 397 of your number imprisoned somewhere in the Abbey? All of these stories are just part of what you will explore whilst following the Time Teen Explorers Trail!

All activities and entrance to the Abbey at special Halloween prices!

Children 5 – 15 yrs: £3.50

Adults 16+: £5.00 [normally £7.50]
