Ghoulish goings on for Armouries visitors

Youngsters will have a chance to meet headless knight, Fright Knight, and see him rear up against ghoulish pumpkin heads in a spooky horse show.

They will be awarded free admission if they hand over their pumpkins to the Halloween pumpkin collector and then watch Fright Knight decapitate the vegetables.

Each child’s name will be called out as part of the daily show during the school holiday from tomorrow to Halloween on October 31. The spooky horse show is one of the main attractions of Medi-Evil Mischief event.

On certain days a medic and his poorly peasant will roam the museum juggling and telling stories. There will also be arts and crafts and face painting alongside general museum activities over half-term. Details are available by visiting the museum’s website: www.royalarmouries.org.
