A museum in Huntingdonshire is offering a host of fun and spooky activities to entertain all the family next week during half term.

The Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon is inviting families to discover how copies of portraits were made in the 17th century at portraiture sessions and join Courtrooms by Candlelight Tours in the museum.

Stuart Orme, curator of the Cromwell Museum, said: "We're offering a great range of activities for all the family to enjoy next week.

"We hope that lots of people will pop in to see us!"

The hands-on-craft portrait sessions are free of charge and run from 11am-3pm on Tuesday, October 24, and Thursday, October.

All you need to do is pop along for the day, and you can try engraving your own portrait to take home.

For those looking for a spooky look at Huntingdon's heritage, the museum's Candlelit tours of the Town hall and its historic courtrooms are also on Tuesday, October 24, at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.
