HALLOWE'EN will be coming early to a Durham museum during the summer holidays.
Durham Light Infantry Museum and Durham Art Gallery will host a collection of Deadly Durham Games, which will give intrepid visitors the chance to brick in a monk, pin the tail on a werewolf and try a coffin for size.
The games will take up half the DLI's education area and will run alongside the Horrible History Funfair of Fear exhibition in which local author Terry Deary explores 2,000 years of British History.
The games, which include stocks, a giant Lambton Worm and ladders and a set of drawers containing rates, eyeballs and a macabre collection of doll parts, are the work of artist Sharon Wilson.
Sharon said: "The games are for everyone interested in the theme, not just children."
The games and exhibition will run from this Saturday until September 9 and every Saturday Terry Deary will bring his Terry Deary Roadshow to the museum
