Trick-o-Treating at The Museum

Dorothy & The Two Year Old

Doon Heritage Village offers a fantastic alternative to traditional Trick-o-Treating. 

They host an evening of trick-o-treating, history and arts in the museum and adjacent village. 

This is our second annual Hallowe'en at Doon and they did not disappoint, adding new activities to the event.

The Weaving House

The children continue with the door-to-door festivities, but also receive a little history lesson in the form of an old school game or tradition.
At the weaving house, apples were strung from the ceiling at different heights for bobbing for apples.

The old train station, brought in from Peterborough,  handed out homemade sugar cookies made by staff on site.

Next stop was hot apple cider brewing in a giant cauldron!
Doon included extra bonfire stops this year, to keep toes and fingers warm!

Fortune Telling

While you were sitting by the fire, you could have your fortune told, or just pick out a fortune of your liking!!

While the various houses in the village offered popcorn, salt water toffee, caramel apples and old fashioned postcards, families could take horse and wagon rides or continue onto the museum building, where staff hosted Hallowe'en arts and crafts tables.
