This Halloween, Wally, the world's favourite children's book character – wearing a red-and-white striped shirt and black-rimmed specs – will be travelling the country, appearing in museums, including the North Hertfordshire Museum in Hitchin.

Families will be able to join the search for Wally at the North Hertfordshire Museum as part of their Where's Wally event.

Spooky Museum Search, organised by Walker Books and Kids in Museums, to celebrate the release of the new book, Where's Wally? Spooky Spotlight Search.

More than 75 museums around the UK have signed up ahead of Halloween.

The activity runs at our North Herts Museum until Sunday, November 1 and will be tailored to comply with social distancing measures.

Families will be able to hunt for Wally amongst the museum's collections, as well as spell out a spooky phrase with letters hidden alongside mini Wally standees, and receive a special "I found Wally!" bookmark on completion of the search.

Visitors will also have the chance to enter the Where's Wally? and Kids in Museums grand prize draw competition to win an ArtFund Family Membership and a bundle of Where's Wally? goodies.
