Chetham’s Library invites all witches and warlocks to a fantastical family day.

Learn about the history of Hallowe’en traditions and enjoy magical arts and craft activities. You can also explore the historic building and library with a scavenger hunt.

Activities are suitable for ages 4+ (and their grown-ups) and dressing up is encouraged.

No need to book, just drop in between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

Family tickets apply to a maximum of x2 adults and x3 children per family. An additional family ticket must be purchased for any extra adults or children.
