Back for another night of ghosts, legends & ancient horrors — with new twists for 2026.

Join us for a special evening event at the Trimontium Museum this Hallowe'en, as we explore the ghosts, monsters and traditions of the past – from the Celtic Samhain to the Roman festival of Lemuria
\n\n\n\nIn our candlelit gallery, hear local tales of hauntings, horrors and strange traditions stretching back across two millennia, guided by our fantastic storytellers, Nicola Agricola and the ghostly apparition of a Roman soldier — a restless spirit from the world of Trimontium who may have a few tales of his own to tell...
\n\n\n\nDo the footsteps of Roman soldiers still echo across Newstead after dark, nearly two thousand years after they left? What did the Romans believe happened to the restless dead — and why did they perform the eerie rituals of Lemuria? What secrets might still lie beneath the Eildon Hills, where Thomas the Rhymer was said to have encountered the Fairy Queen? Vampire monks... haunted abbeys... And what of the museum itself? Could some of its ancient objects have brought a few spirits along with them?
\n\n\n\nAnd then there are the monsters. This year, prepare for a fleeting encounter with one of the most fearsome figures of the ancient world. When Medusa's fury is unleashed... don't meet her gaze...
\n\n\n\nHear these tales and more at this exclusive Trimontium evening event — if you dare...
\n\n\n\nYour ticket includes entry to the museum, plus a choice of complimentary Hallowe'en cocktail on arrival to get you into the spirit of the evening!\n\n\n\n
