October half term is a series of free, family activities at London Museum Docklands, running in person from 24 to 31 October 2026. It is organised by London Museum and invites families to dive into London legends and spooky superstitions in the historic heart of Canary Wharf. Children can set sail with superstitious sailors, sculpt clay lucky charms, learn about London's loneliest griffin, explore fairytale forests and write ten-word stories with former Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho OBE. All activities are free, though some require booking tickets in advance.
