Half-term at the National Football Museum gets a Halloween theme across all four floors. Children can design a captain's armband and play a game, make a monster mascot from paper plates, build a 'Frankenstein's footballer' from recycled bits, mix potions and poke about in slime, and hear their team's fortune from a roaming witch. Collect stamps on the ghost trail for a chance to win a goodie bag. Tickets give a year's unlimited entry.
