Event Description
We have a frightfully good time for your little ghouls at Colchester Library this Halloween!
All half term week we’ll be crafting together as we make a giant Halloween banner to decorate the library on the big day. Everyone is welcome to add their own arty ideas! You can also see if you can find all the ghosts hidden around the children’s library in our ghost hunt challenge.
On Saturday 31 October, Halloween itself, under 5’s can share spooky nursery rhymes and songs, 10.30am to 10.50am at a Rhymetime special. Children of any age can drop in for a Halloween themed story time, 11am to 11.20am and creepy crafts, 2pm to 4pm.
Our regular Saturday Games morning, 10am to 1pm and Block Builders Construction Club, 2pm to 4pm will still be in the children’s library for everyone to enjoy!
