As the clocks prepare to go back and the nights draw in, you’ve got a perfect opportunity this half term to take the family up to the American Museum and Gardens, where Halloween is in full fright!

It’s the first time they’ve tried such an experience at this time of year, though the museum is already famous for its Christmas lights display.

We went up for a preview walk-through last night. The kids will love what’s lurking in the gardens, and adults can enjoy the candle-lit atmosphere inside the Manor House.

Bring family and friends for an autumn evening together.

Apart from the thrills and chills, there’s plenty of American-inspired food and drink to purchase.
