Halloween Comes to Cromer!

Artist Cordelia Spalding and the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum are making a 3D Spooky Seascape and visitors are invited to lend a hand (or claw) in this Halloween event with a difference. 

Most people visit Cromer when the sea sparkles blue in the summer sunlight but those who stick around when the wind wails see a different coast. Who knows what lurks in the dark depths below?

On Thursday 29 October 2015 between 10am and 4pm, visitors to the museum are invited to appear in their best Halloween costume, use their imagination and create a spooky seascape… all in 3D. A range of materials will be on offer to create spooks and spectres, monsters and sea beasts to add to the midnight scene.

Every monster has a tale to tell which can be written on a pebble and left on the moonlit beach for others to discover. The whole story won’t be revealed until the day ends, night approaches and the pebble beach is complete.

Jacqui Palmer, Museum Manager said, “I’m really looking forward to seeing how the seascape turns out. We’ve never thought about what happens at Halloween by the sea before. We could have vampire mermaids or giant squid ghosts!”

I am over the moon to be working with the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum, firstly because they, and their volunteer crews, do such brilliant work, but secondly because it has really fired my imagination! I very much hope that the stories of daring rescues, bravery and the ever changing moods of the seas that surround our island do the same for others.

The idea of combining the scary feel of Halloween with the dramatic scenes of the sea in winter is a unique opportunity and one that I hope all who come can enjoy. (Opportunity to wear a cape and a spikey hat is also one that I couldn’t turn down!)

This free event is suitable for all ages and abilities. It is part of the Big Draw, a national campaign to encourage everyone to pick up a pencil and draw.
