Medi-Evil Mischief - Friday, 1 October 2010
Half term 23 – 31 October 2010
Dare you visit the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, this half term in the run up to the spookiest night of the year – Halloween?
Not for the faint-hearted, Medi-Evil Mischief offers gruesome entertainment for all the family.
On a less grisly note, there’s lots more to help youngsters beat the half-term holiday blues, including horse shows, falconry demonstrations, and have-a-go-sword-fighting sessions.
