The Town Council organises a variety of free events and activities in the school holidays to help families have fun without spending a fortune. Working with experienced and friendly practitioners, we offer something for everyone – from creative activities like crafting to more energetic events like football coaching. So, you can save money when the kids are off school and keep them busy for less.

Come and get crafty this October half term with free Halloween Makes in the Museum at Daventry Museum. During this spooky drop-in session, you can make your own scary webs complete with furry spiders, petrifying pipe-cleaner pumpkins, and menacing mummies. There will also be a spine-chilling scavenger hunt around the museum to celebrate this haunted holiday.

We'd love to see your favourite fancy dress too, so feel free to dress up in your Halloween best (fancy dress not compulsory!).

The session is free with no booking required, just pop in any time between 10am and 2pm. These events tend to be busier early on, so come a little later if you'd prefer it to be quieter.

Suitable for all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
