Solve the clues, beat the curse

Half term week at Peterborough Museum offers the chance to solve the Curse of the Egyptian Mummy.

This fun themed event (Monday to Friday) features a mysterious Ancient Egyptian object which has come to the museum as part of the Wish You Were Here! exhibition, but its removal from its resting place appears to have upset someone’s ghastly ghost.

Families must brave the creepy corridors and solve cryptic clues in order to beat the chaotic curse before it takes hold of them.

Tickets are £3 children, £4 adults and £12 families (2 adults, 2 children) – no booking required, just drop in.
