Something spooky at museum

Wednesday 7th October 2009, 7:45AM BST.

Visitors to the Blists Hill Victorian Town, near Ironbridge in Telford, will need to listen out for things that go bump in the night when it opens for Halloween.

As dusk falls on October 31 and the street lamps cast eerie shadows at every corner, weird apparitions will replace the friendly Victorians who are usually seen in the town’s shops, cottages and work places.

Spooky antics are expected to replace the normal everyday activities at the open-air museum and people are invited to turn up in their most scary costumes to make sure the night goes off with a bang.

No tickets will be available on the door and families are advised to book early.

Ghostly Gaslight begins at 6pm. For details call (01952) 884391.
