Festivals & fairsHalloween Festival at Mall of CyprusFor one weekend, the open-air car park on the first floor of the Mall of Cyprus turns into a sprawling Halloween playground from Inspired Family Fun. The free programme has Halloween photo spots, trick-or-treating, treats from Chester, spooky story-telling and a Halloween party. At its heart is the pumpkin workshop, where each child chooses a pumpkin and paints it however they like. Beyond that there are bungee trampolines, a pool with bumper boats and waterwalker balls, big inflatables, virtual reality, Halloween face painting, sugarcraft and remote-controlled cars. At 4pm on both days, the actor Michalis Christou drops by with Halloween games, plenty of laughs and a little spooky fun. Entry is free, activities start from €4, and visitors can support the Friends of the Americos Argyriou Centre for Preventive Paediatrics with a donation or a gift purchase.24 – 25 Oct11:00–19:00Nicosia, Mall of Cyprus (open-air parking, 1st floor)Family€free entry; activities from €4

Discover & learnCoin – Message – History: Family Programme at Messages on MetalBuilt around the Messages on Metal exhibition, this family morning at the Leventis Municipal Museum sets out to show how a coin can speak. Ancient coins are treated as tiny carriers of history, and children and parents read their shapes, symbols and figures for clues about the people who made them. Learning stations, interactive digital screens and the museum's own hands-on minting workshop do much of the work. The programme runs from 10.30 to 12.00 in Greek, is free, and places must be booked in advance. It starts promptly, so arriving ten minutes early is wise.Sun, 25 Oct10:30–12:00Nicosia, Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia6–12 years€Free
