Science Museum Lates in October will bring a unique take on the theme of Halloween. Join us for this very special session around the Science Museum’s very own Talkaoke table and discover the curious connections between science and Halloween.
We’ll delve into the science of phobias, explain how to survive a zombie outbreak, shine a light on nature’s real-life monsters and explore how science has inspired some of the scariest stories ever told. You can expect a splatter of blood and a splash of guts too, as you get hands on with creepy craft activities.
Halloween Lates is the mustn’t-miss party to be at on 31 October, with DJs spinning petrifying party tunes and our cafes and bars serving Halloween-themed snacks, drinks and cocktails. Fancy and spooky dress is very much encouraged, and there’ll be prizes for our favourite outfits!
Catch the long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s iconic horror-comedy in glorious IMAX format, introduced by author of The Science of Weird S**t, Chris French.
