Join us for a spooky tour of the Linnean Society – birthplace of the theory of evolution – followed by a horrific nature quiz, and cocktails to send a shiver down your spine. There will also be a special 'blood brew' fruit tea only for the iron-hearted! But fear not, it will be caffeine-free, so that you can be present for those nightmares!
You will tour around our building as you learn about the dark secrets of natural history. Meet real vampires and zombies, hear about gruesome maritime mysteries, adventures gone horribly wrong, and woeful tales of cannibalism, all in our historic building. Put your newfound knowledge to the test with a fun natural history themed Halloween quiz and relax with a cocktail or mocktail in our breathtaking library.
This is an in-person event for adults (18+) only and is especially suited for small groups looking for a Halloween event with a wild twist. The event is two hours long and the ticket price includes one cocktail or mocktail.
