Summer has drifted away, the weather is cooler, but Autumn brings us many rewards with nature’s harvest of fruits, nuts and berries. We live in the city, but not so long ago there were farms, nurseries and orchards on our land, and there are still some remnants to be found in our green spaces and on the edges. My memories take me back to the mulberry tree – once part of an old orchard – in the factory grounds behind our houses. It was a tree we were able to climb where we could scrump a harvest of juicy berries.

Join us at Bruce Castle for morning tea and the opportunity to look at our collections and share stories.

October's session is: Bonfires and Broomsticks!

With Halloween and Bonfire night on the horizon, we'll be looking at Autumnal festivities past and present. During the session you will be able to chat over morning tea in a welcoming environment, handle some of our museum and archive collections and share your own stories.

You will also have exclusive access to the museum’s downstairs galleries.

‘Bruce Castle is haunted, as everybody knows…If Bruce Castle is not haunted, then who stalks about in the turret class room when mortals are a-bed? And who…leaves nought behind him but a heavy feeling of presence in the darkness?’ The Brucian, August 15, 1856

Visit the Candlelit Castle and be transported back to the Victorian age of ghost stories by costumed guides. They will share the sinister secrets and eerie experiences hidden inside the walls of one of London’s most haunted buildings.
