Hallowe’en Happenings This Half-Term At Cardiff Castle
For the young and brave there are some spooky happenings and strange goings – on at Cardiff Castle this half–term holiday from Saturday 22 October – Sunday 30 October.
Underground screenings of favourite spooky films, creepy crawlies galore, a frightful children’s parade and some mysterious appearances from the masked Highwayman will all take place around the Castle. Just keep your eyes peeled and watch your backs!
Back by popular demand is the Castle’s Underground Cinema in the 15th century Undercroft with screenings of everyone’s favourite scary films such as Goosebumps ( PG), Disney’s Beauty and the Beast ( U) and Nightmare Before Christmas ( U). Dates from Sat 22 – Mon 24 October: Limited availability – please book in advance.
Running rife in the Undercroft are some real creepy crawlies – spiders, scorpions, frogs and toads. Test your bravery and see how close you can get to these remarkable creatures. Sessions take place on Tuesday 25 October. Limited availability – please book in advance.
Join us in the hunt for the masked Highwayman as he miraculously appears around the site over the weekend of 29th – 30th October. He could be in the Keep, on the Battlements or hiding in the Wartime Tunnels – he could be anywhere. Plus, there will be spooky storytelling in the Undercroft and a chance to show off your amazing costumes in a frightful Hallowe’en children’s parade.
And for the older and the braver, what better time to take a Cardiff Castle Ghost Tour than during Hallowe’en week? A night- time tour of the empty Castle in the dark is atmospheric and downright eerie. Check www.cardiffhistory.co.uk for dates and times.
Cabinet Member for Community Development, Co-operatives and Social Enterprise, Cllr Peter Bradbury said, ”Hallowe’en events at the Castle have become increasingly popular and we hope to see record numbers of visitors over the half-term holiday.”
