The past is coming back to life… and some of our oldest residents seem rather reluctant to stay buried!

This Halloween, the Museum of Ryde has a few unexpected visitors! A mysterious figure in a sinister red mask is keeping watch over our collections, while a rather bony gentleman has made himself comfortable in a coffin. We’re not entirely sure how long he’s been there… or whether he intends to stay!

Deep beneath the historic Royal Victoria Arcade, the Museum of Ryde is full of fascinating stories, curious objects and hidden corners waiting to be explored.

And this Halloween, there’s a little extra mystery in the air!

👻 Bring your children, your curiosity and perhaps a little courage! Wander through our galleries, meet our spooky visitors and discover the remarkable history of Ryde along the way.

Whether you’re a young explorer, a history enthusiast or simply looking for something different to do with the family, there’s something here to capture your imagination.

🎃 Dare to enter? We promise our skeleton is usually very well behaved!
