Don’t myth out on our half term fun!
Join us this October half-term for fantastical fun at Swansea Museum. For Halloween week we will be exploring Creatures of Welsh Folklore. We have two free workshops, new activities in the galleries, and lots of free goodies. You don’t have to wear a costume to get a treat, but costumes are certainly welcome!
Creatures of Welsh Folklore
Learn about some of the creatures of Welsh Folklore and try out activities created especially for this half term. From fishing to fate – these little games will bring the creatures to life…hopefully only metaphorically.

Have you tried our mouse trail?
We have 22 mice hidden around our museum. It is quite a challenge to find them all – will you become an expert mouse hunter?
Make sure to check out the RISW, who provide a regular program of lectures on a wide variety of subjects.
The RISW, or Royal Institution of South Wales, are the friends of the museum.
Thank you for taking part!
