The Welsh museum festival offers a variety of events in museums across Wales. Events include science, crafts, lectures and conservation sessions.
Head to The Silver Mountain Experience near Aberystwyth is famous for some top Halloween action.
There’s a great mixture of events, depending on your ‘prepared-to-be-scared’ level – from not-so-scary fancy dress and ‘Trick or Treat trails starting from 22 October – 6 November for a terrifying ‘Terror Mountain’ for over 12s (21, 22, 27 – 29 and 31 October 2022).
Here is a list of Welsh museums that one can visit to enjoy the spookiest month of the year:-
