Invasion form Planet X comes to North Down Museum - with help from SERC

Tonight, Friday 25 October, North Down Museum is bracing itself for some intergalactic visitors when ‘Invasion from Planet X’ takes place in its historic building with help of students from SERC's HND Performing Arts, Level 3 Performing Arts, Level3 Dance and Level 3 Production Arts courses.    Find out of if you could survive an alien invasion at this fun event which is part of a series of after dark happenings across Northern Ireland, to encourage over 18s to try a different kind of night out at their local museum.     

On the night, museum visitors can expect storm trooper performances, escape rooms, alien walkabouts, live music and more!   The event is adults-only with an on-site bar, food, live music and a DJ, all the ingredients for a great night out.  

Speaking about the event, North Down Museum’s Manager, Heather McGuicken said: “After the success of last year’s Zombie event, we are thrilled to host Invasion from Planet X. We do hope people will come along and enjoy this unique experience – something different for Halloween!”  

Students from SERC are involved in the night and will be showcasing their artistic and theatrical skills with a fantastic programme of alien-themed antics.  

‘Invasion From Planet X’ will take place on Friday 25 October in North Down Museum, from 8.00pm to 11.00pm. Tickets for this strictly over-18s event are £10 and available to book online:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/invasion-from-planet-x-tickets-70136537271
