Halloween fright night at the Natural History Museum (Oct 2024)

This event has already passed

The Natural History Museum will be opening after hours for an adults-only fright night that you'll never forget!

As darkness falls this Halloween you'll be able to explore the museum's spooky side in an evening of supernatural scares and spooky science shows.

Kitted out in your best fancy dress, you'll have a chance to see the galleries away from the day-time tourist hordes and get to know some of the planet's most misunderstood members, discovering the myths and legends behind the world's most weird and wonderful creatures.

Visitors will also enjoy entry into the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition that's currently running at the museum.

Dance the night away at the silent disco!

Then grab yourself a pair of illuminated headphones and bust some moves at the silent disco, which will be taking place in the Earth Hall by the giant globe and skeleton of Sophie the Stegosaurus.

You'll be able to choose your own music by flicking through the channels on your headset, so if you don't like the pop, rock or party tunes that are playing then simply press a button and change the song. But here's the twist: everybody will end up dancing to different music!
