Scarecrows of Samhain – Crafts & Storytelling

This event has ended

The Casino Model Railway Museum, Saturday 25th October - Friday 31st October

This October mid-term, step into the world of folklore and imagination with “Scarecrows of Samhain”, a family-friendly event filled with creativity, tradition, and storytelling.

In Celtic belief, Samhain marked the time when the veil between worlds grew thin.

Now, the Casino Scarecrows return to share their tales and inspire young imaginations.
