October 1 - 31, 2026
Spooky Strathma returns this October—and this year we’re going medieval. Each year, we transform the museum with a new theme, displays and activities. Wander through a medieval village, try the museum-wide quest and visit a special exhibit about Sherwood Park’s own Medieval Days celebrations. Come during regular museum hours or join us for one of the special events happening throughout October.
Regular museum admission and most events are by donation. Ticketed events are marked below.
From Sherwood Forest to Sherwood Park: The Story of Medieval Days
Take a look back at Sherwood Park’s original Medieval Days, held from 1964 to 1967. The exhibit includes archival photographs, newspaper articles, artifacts, costumes and memories from people who were there.
