You can check out my where to pick your own pumpkins post if you’ve landed here and are looking for pumpkins! This post is about things to do in Cornwall October Half Term besides picking pumpkins!
I’m sharing various things to do throughout Cornwall with kids so you can plan your fun week accordingly.
*Events will be added as they are released.
Half term in Cornwall is:
26th – 30th October 2020
The National Maritime Museum
Monsters of the Deep Exhibition
Plunge down to the dark murky depths of the ocean and discover the monsters that lurk beneath. Are there krakens with tentacles two miles long and giant sharks as big as skyscrapers?
Explore the centuries-old myths and legends, when chance sightings and odd appearances led to tall tales of deep-sea creatures. Learn how, even today, these stories continue to capture imaginations, fuelled by fake news and conspiracy theories.
Runs until 22nd January 2022
Silhouettes & Sharks
Spooky Shadow Stories
Monday 26th to Friday 30th October 2020
Enjoy sea monster tales using shadow puppets from the deep in the Museum’s Main Hall.
