Museum of Illusions Manchester turns spooky for Halloween with family friendly activities

On Halloween Day (October 31st), guests will be able to Trick & Treat with Illusion Experts.

All day throughout the museum, guests can dare to ask an Illusion Expert for a Trick or a Treat. If they land on a Trick, they’ll be wowed by a quick illusion; if they land on a Treat, they’ll walk away with something sweet. It’s trick-or-treating without the windy October weather, perfect for curious kids, families and friends looking to do Halloween differently.

From October 16th to November 2nd, the museum is transforming into a world of Weird Wonders - think moons, pumpkins, bats, spiders and webs, all adding a spooky (but not scary!) twist to Manchester’s most mind-bending experience.

Visitors can find their clones in tricky mirrors, swap faces with a friend, split themselves in two or even serve their head on a platter - all surrounded by over 60 weird and wonderful illusions designed to baffle the brain and fill the camera roll.
