Trick or Treat! The Lost Pig of the Catacombs

Did you know that a long, long time ago, people in Maltese villages would let a pig wander around? Everyone gave it scraps of food to make it big and strong, and on All Souls’ Day its meat was shared with the poor. But legend has it that one pig got lost in the dark passages of St Paul’s Catacombs!

On Saturday 1st November, from 5:00pm till 7:00pm, young explorers aged 7 and above are invited to come and help us find the lost piggy (a soft toy version in a unique quest at St Paul’s Catacombs in Rabat. Admission will be allowed every 30 minutes.

Hera, Arachne, Persephone, a siren, Circe, Medusa, and a Harpy will appear along the way, challenging participants with tricky riddles as they journey through the site. Have you got what it takes to track down the soft toy pig and unlock the hidden secrets of the catacombs to claim your sweets?

The event will be held in both Maltese and English, and tickets include admission for one accompanying adult per child, with the option of adding an extra adult for €5.

Participants should bring their own treat bag, and we recommend wearing comfortable shoes.
