For the second year running, All Hallows’ Eve at the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives was a resounding success! Outside the museum, Mad Scientist Matt Smith created spooky ambient soundscapes as ghost, ghouls and goblins entered the museum for a night of fun and fright.
As people entered, Vampire Susan Rule spooked visitors from her coffin in the hallway- what a spooktacular delight!
On the main floor, many of the younger children enjoyed a variety of craft stations while the Driftwood Theatre troupe led murder mystery tours of the upstairs exhibit. Here’s a taste of the mystery:
THANK YOU to the community for participating in our All Hallows Eve event and supporting the work we do. It truly was a fantastic success with close to 200 visitors and generous donations at the door!
