Celebrate the spookiest night of the year amongst the skeletons and specimens of the Natural History Museum.
Following last year’s sellout event, Halloween at the Museum returns for a spine-tingling night of eerie entertainment and tickets are now available.
The adults-only event is the perfect way to explore the Museum’s galleries and exhibitions after hours, as the sun sets and the skeletons cast their shadows beneath the ghostly spectre of Hope the Whale.
A band filling South Kensington’s hallowed halls with live music and a silent disco means you can boogie with the beasts throughout the evening.
There’s no need to go chasing after the supernatural in the dark October night. Instead, chat to our expert scientists as they showcase their spooky specimens from the natural world.
Away from the hustle and bustle of daytime crowds, explore the Museum’s galleries and exhibitions, including Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the deep.

Seeking an extra ghoulish element to your night? Pickled creatures suspended in jars is an absolute stalwart of horror films. Add on tickets to the behind-the-scenes Tank Room Tour for a peek at our spirit collection. Get up close and personal with preserved specimens floating in the jars and tanks, including the eerie 8-metre-long giant squid affectionately named Archie.
The immersive story element also returns to the Halloween event this year. While none of our bat specimens transform into Count Dracula at night, you can still get your vampire fix at the Museum this Halloween. Dress as a member of the Dark Vampiric Council and expect characters emerging from the Museum’s crevices, trails to follow and even a vampire ball scene to take part in.
Tickets start from £65, or £48 for members, and are available at Halloween at the Museum | Natural History Museum. The event is for ages 18+ only and doors will open at 19:00. Drinks and snacks can be purchased from the onsite bars.
