Escape Room: A Witches Night in the Cells
King’s Lynn, 1644: you have been accused of witchcraft after a series of crop failures and unexplained illnesses in the village. Tomorrow, you will be taken before the magistrate and almost certainly condemned.
Locked in a cold stone gaol cell, you discover that a previous prisoner - a cunning herbalist accused of the same crime - left behind clues.
Rumour says she uncovered evidence proving the accusations were fabricated by Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins.
If you can find her hidden evidence and escape before dawn, your name may be cleared.
Friday 30th October 1pm and Saturday 31st October 11am and 1pm
Activities free with museum admission. Please see website for prices.
