Youngsters have been getting in the spooky spirit of Halloween thanks to Ely Museum’s half-term activities schedule.

The museum’s weekly craft session took a scary turn yesterday (Thursday October 27) and saw children don hair-raising Halloween outfits for a day of crafts.

There they made creepy cats, freaky dials and ghoulish lanterns out of paper and cardboard.

As well as the half-term craft day, the museum is also running an exhibition of the memories of older people in Cambridgeshire.

The ‘Memories in the community: stories of my life’ exhibition runs until Monday (October 31).
