About the event

Batty bats, spooky spiders, howling owls and things that go bump in the night. Fun Hallowe’en crafts to decorate your home.

A drop-in event at The Cut.

Lots of information about nocturnal beasties and all the things associated with Hallowe’en. Legends and folklore explained. Wouldn’t it would be a shame to explain away all the rich layers of folklore and mythology though? 

Dressing up at Hallowe’en was originally to prevent the spirits recognising you and following you home, while singing and story-telling would entertain them and send them back to the otherworld happy.

Where’s the fun in not being followed home by barn owls, or making migrating geese happy? And you never know....
