galleries. Every pumpkin on the trail has been crocheted by hand, so there are no plastic decorations to throw away afterwards. Children who complete the trail and the wizarding challenges will take home pumpkin seeds planted in a biodegradable cardboard pot, with growing instructions and a certificate printed on recycled paper, so the fun carries on at home long after Halloween.

Pumpkin trail: all half term during museum opening hours; self-guided, no booking needed; free.
Tuesday–Sunday, 10am–5pm
