From Thursday 29th to Saturday 31st October 2026, families can drop in between 10am and 2pm and get creative with a selection of free Halloween crafts.
Children can make their own spooky decorations to take home, including spiders, spiral spooks and rats.
The craft activities are particularly suitable for children aged 2 to 12, although older brothers and sisters are welcome to join in too.
Families visiting over half-term can also look out for the special Rat Trail, inspired by the fascinating story of Dorothy Clayden, who worked as a rat catcher at the Flaxmill Maltings during the Second World War.
A great choice for parents looking for a free activity in Shrewsbury during October half-term, with plenty to keep younger visitors entertained.
