Events

A giant spider has taken up residence in the museum's atrium.

She's friendly - or so we have been told - but it is Halloween after all...

Will you be brave enough to walk beneath her and grab the ultimate scary selfie with our archanid friend?

Follow the link to book general admission tickets to see her as part of a visit, from 26th October to 11th November 2025. 

Join in with spider themed crafts in the museum on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th October, 11am - 3pm. 

On Thursday 30th and Friday 31st October Professor Arachnid will be in the museum to answer all your questions about spiders, and talk about how our giant spider was built.
