In this ghostly workshop delivered by artist Harriet Mena Hill, create a haunted house lantern inspired by the Foundling Museum. Once you’ve made your lantern join other families in an eerie procession through the atmospheric Museum galleries. At the end of the session you’ll be free to take your lantern home to show to family and friends, and light on Halloween!

There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds.

What’s included with my ticket?

Led by a professional artist with all materials provided, all you have to do is bring yourselves! We advise dressing for a mess as this workshop will involve the use of glue. Tickets also include free entry to the Museum so you can explore at your leisure.
