Skeletons in the Abbey

A family drop-in activity to explore the ancient festival of All Hallows' Tide

Join us for activities to explore the ancient Christian traditions that lie behind 'Halloween' or All Hallows Eve. Make a soul cake and discover the origins of 'trick or treat'. Create a candle boat to mark the start of All Hallows Tide. Find out why St Cuthbert is carrying a head. Look for the skeleton pictures in the Abbey and make your own. And find out what happened after Jesus' friends thought they had seen a ghost.
