Our first-ever aSCAREium event, which toOOOok place on 30 October, was a runaway success. The slightly darker than usual Aquarium was filled with enchanted witches, ogres, mad scientists, fairies and pirates – well, the short incarnations of these anyway, as children and adults, who had all dressed up for the occasion, delighted in the array of frightfully entertaining activities. Magic shows, creepy creatures (like snakes) and gooey ponds … It was the Aquaruim like you’d never seen it before. Here are some pictures from the night.

If you took snaps, too, we’d love to see them! Add them to our official Flickr group or post them on our Facebook fan page.
