Hide-and-seek games will be held every lunch time from Monday, October 24 to Friday, October 28, where families will have the chance to win some special prizes.

A life size cardboard cut-out of Tim Peake, known as ‘Flat Tim’, will be hiding in locations around Chichester City Centre waiting to be found.

Clues on where to find Tim will be posted on The Novium Museum’s Facebook and Twitter accounts every day and can be found at www.facebook.com/TheNovium and www.twitter.com/TheNovium

On Friday, October 28 from 7pm-8am, things will get spooky at the museum for this year’s Halloween Sleepover.
