Dare to Enter the Library After Dark?

When the lights go out, the stories come alive... Join us for a night of eerie excitement as the library transforms into a haunted haven of horror and hilarity. Inspired by your favourite creepy reads, this after-hours adventure is packed with surprises.

Crack a haunted maze with robotic help, race to wrap your friends in mummy bandages, and conjure creepy creations. Then settle in for spine-tingling tales and hauntingly good sounds that bring the night to life.

Dress to impress (or distress) - prizes await the most imaginative costumes, with extra points for homemade horrors. Enjoy snacks, share your ideas for future library events, and make memories that will haunt you (in the best way).

For ages 11–17 only
