Spooky Halloween Lanterns

Light up Halloween with your own hand-made lantern.

10:30-12:30 for 5–9-year-olds, 13:30-15:30 for 10-13-year-olds | Free, but must be booked in advance

In this Halloween-themed workshop, make a lantern featuring spooky silhouettes and fashion logos, inspired by our exhibition The Covid Letters. Accompanied by a Halloween playlist specially put together by Sports Banger, watch your lantern glow and create spooky shadows throughout the Picture Gallery as the museum lights are dimmed.

All workshops must be booked in advance by emailing learning@foundlingmuseum.org.uk. Please confirm the following details when booking:

• Title & time of workshop
• Number of children and adults in your group, including names
• Contact telephone number

Tables will be organised in family or friendship bubbles, with up to 6 people at one table. If you wish to book as a group (ie. more than one family), please make this clear when contacting us so we can allocate tables accordingly. To comply with social distancing, tables will not be able to mix and will be spaced apart. The artists leading the workshops will also respect the social distancing guidelines.
