Half Term Events at Poole's Museums

Once again there’s a lot to do at the museum this half term!

Witches and Wizards I
Tuesday 29 October 10am -12 midday

Upon their arrival the hopeful candidates will make potions and pills. Candidates will then make a hat, be taught a spell, learn a chant and hear about the history of magic. All with a Harry Potter flavour in the spooky Scaplens Court Museum.

Witches and Wizards II
Thursday 31 October 10am - 12 midday

A similar event with different activities, so that both events can be attended.

(Tickets in advance £3.50. For ages 7-12 years)

Tour of Scaplens Court - history, architecture and archaeology
Friday 1 November 11am - 12 midday

A tour of Poole’s fine medieval Merchants House, that changed from a Tudor Inn, to a Georgian home, Victorian tenements and finally a museum. Learn about its fortunes and history from archaeologist Sarah Watson.
