Halloween Hyacinths 2025

FREE entry

Visit the museum volunteers at Bolling Hall Museum. Celebrate Halloween in one of Bradford’s oldest homes.

Museum volunteer gardeners will be on hand to plant your bulb to take home.  Decorate your pot in a spooky style first.

Seriously spooky storytelling all day long with library volunteers.

Bradford Literacy Trust Volunteer Champions will be on hand with some frightfully FREE Halloween books for you to take away.

FREE beastly bookmarks to give away, hand printed by the print volunteers at Bradford Industrial Museum.

Pop-up café will be serving freakishly fresh brewed coffee, hot chocolate, and teas. Get your beastly bakes on the day in the museum Cold Kitchen.

Fairies Wardrobe – get your little witches/warlock face paint.  Your favourite magical book characters will be visiting too! Look out for the garden gazebo of magic. (Small charge for this).

Get creative with the Young Ambassadors/craft volunteers to make your chilling waxy bookmarks with natural dyes.

NEW to Bolling Hall Museum: Meet Colonel Richard Tempest returning safely from battle in 1643.  All Hallows Eve is the end of the Old Year in the 17th Century. Harvest time is not good in Northern Europe in 1643. Nothing is growing and it’s too cold… (played by volunteer David Schofield).

The event is suitable for all the family; children must be accompanied by an adult. The event is free, but donations on a pay as you feel basis are always welcome to cover the costs of activities by our volunteers
