Head to the People’s History Museum this half term for a Halloween-themed Where’s Wally? Spooky Museum Search.

Will you be able to spot Wally – in his distinctive red and white striped shirt and bobble hat – in the museum’s collection? Pick up an activity sheet, keep your eyes peeled and find Wally hidden around the museum. Alongside each Wally, there will be a letter; those who can spell out a spooky phrase with the letters will receive a special ‘I found Wally!’ bookmark.

Families will also have the chance to enter the Where’s Wally? and Kids in Museums grand prize draw to win an ArtFund Family Membership and a super selection of Where’s Wally? goodies.

Organised by Kids in Museums and Walker Books, the event is taking place to celebrate the release of the new Where’s Wally book, Spooky Spotlight Search.

Our friends at PHM have worked hard to make sure that this family-friendly event will be Covid-safe and tailored to comply with social distancing measures.
