PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR CURRENT EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS

Thursday 31 October, 5–7pm

This Halloween bring the whole family along to RWA and experience the galleries by torchlight, with Halloween-themed children's art workshops, drinks, nibbles, prizes and more! 

Explore the exhibition by torchlight

Explore the 167 Annual Open Exhibition - only in the dark! Take part in a Halloween exhibition trail. Hunt down the creepy crawlies and spooky creatures lurking in our galleries... 

Take part in spooky art activities

🎃 Follow our secret recipe to create your own oozy, drippy slime.

👻 Make your very own 'magic picture'. Draw on white paper with a white wax candle and what do you see? Nothing! But colour over the top with our magic solution and all will be revealed...

💀 Raid the witch's spell cupboard for feathers, fir cones, bones, skulls and other spooky objects. Then, get busy drawing your finds. Use your feather as a quill, or roll a fir cone in ink and see what texture it creates. Perhaps you have a mini DaVinci on your hands who'd rather draft an anatomically accurate skull. Anything goes! 

🎨 Pick up a self-led drawing activity and have your artwork published in an online gallery on The Big Draw website.
