THE Beacon has a range of activities planned for the upcoming October half term. 

The museum, which is based at Whitehaven Harbour, will host a range of events for children and families throughout the half-term week. 

There will be Pet Encounters sessions, a Circus Workshop, a Halloween Walk, and Halloween Craft events. 

In a post on social media, The Beacon wrote: "Join us at The Beacon Museum this half-term for a spooktacular Halloween adventure.
