Halloween looms ever closer, so why not put yourself in a spooky mood with some half-term fun?

Pumpkin festivals, creepy craft sessions and more are going on throughout half term in Huddersfield and beyond — and if you're looking for some culture this evening, you're also in luck.

Here's three ideas for some Tuesday thrills:

  1. Enjoy creepy crafts at the Red House Museum : If you're still putting together your Halloween costume, why not try your hand at making it yourself? Head to the Red House Museum in Gomersal, 11am-5pm, for a fun craft session and make things to wear or use on Halloween. Admission to the museum costs £2.50 for adults and £1 for children.
