We’re due to launch on-sale for our winter events on Wed 1 Sep for BCLM Members, followed by general public access on Wed 8 Sep.
This year’s programme is a great combination of old and new that we’re sure will appeal to a wide spectrum of our visitors. Here’s a preview:
Halloween Nights – Monsters and Aliens (Fri 22/Sat 23/Fri 29/Sat 30 Oct)
Visitors will experience a frenzy of fun as monsters and aliens invade the Museum for our spectacular Halloween Nights!
Alongside the familiar favourites like trick-or-treat and the costume parade. we’ll also have mighty tree creatures and a steambuster robot to entertain families as they roam the Museum after dark…
An Enchanted Christmas – special ticketed daytime event (Sat 11/Sun 12/Sat 18/Sun 19 Dec)
Last year’s cancelled event has been brought back to life and updated for 2021.
Santa and his elves are getting ready for the big day. The presents are being mined, the Christmas trees are being planted and the Sugarplum Fairies are busy making delicious treats. But mischief is afoot – the Rat King and his army are trying to ruin Christmas! Santa has called in the Nutcracker General and his friends to keep the Rat King and his pesky partners at bay. Visitors will have the chance to step into this magical world to help save Christmas!
Santa Hunts
Santa is making a welcome return to the Museum this Christmas, with a brand new storyline for Santa Hunts for 2021. (Sat 26/Sun 27 Nov, Sat 4/Sun 5/Mon 20/Tue 21/Wed 22/Thu 23/Fri 24 Dec)
With the help of Santa’s elves, visitors will explore the Museum to hunt down festive ingredients to help wake up jolly old Saint Nick from his slumber by seeking out the smells, sounds and tastes of Christmas to bring Santa back to his old festive self. Children will of course receive a gift and a special memento from the man himself.
