Join us for spooky half-term crafts inspired by the books in the RCP library.
Book a ticket and drop-in anytime and for as long as you want between 10.30am and 12.30pm.
Recommended for children aged 5 – 11 but all are welcome. All children must be accompanied by an adult but accompanying adults can attend free and don’t need to book.
Books are more than just words. They can be filled with beautiful printed pictures, the covers stamped with designs, have moving diagrams, or be used to create mini animations. In this Halloween special session you can have a go at printing your own ghoulish patterns, making spooky bookmarks, creating eerie moving models and more!
Plus discover our new exhibition ‘A body of knowledge’, all about the books in our doctors’ library, with our children’s activity trail.
Recommended for children aged 5 – 11.
Prices: Pay what you feel, recommended £5 per child.
Juice and biscuits will be available.
