Hundreds of British museums and historic sites are offering night-time activities this week, and the Guardian (UK) has picked out 16 to highlight as the best.
Among the offerings are overnight stays in museums, ghost walks, pop-up planetariums and re-enactments of Viking battles (hint: in those, the Brits don’t always win!). For full details, see the Museums at Night home page. For the Guardian’s picks, click HERE
