Hanner Tymor Hydref yn Dinefwr | October Half Term at Dinefwr

This half term Dinefwr invites you to step into the traditions of a Welsh Halloween deep in the Tywi Valley, where the veil between worlds thins. Reap the wild harvest and try your luck with ancient games. Listen for whispers in the Butler’s Pantry, stir potions in the bath, and transform yourself in the Brushing Room. Gather around the wassail bowl and dare to summon the ghostly figures of Ladi Wen and the Hwch Ddu Gwta. Venture outside to the Oak Yard for a playful, hands-on escape into shadow and flame. Back by popular demand, the self-led Woodlan Theatre return, there will also be a room for experimenting with light and silhouettes using overhead projectors to create your own eerie scenes and mysterious creatures. Between 12pm-1pm each day come and warm yourself by the fire, take part in apple bobbing, and enjoy an atmospheric space where folklore meets fun.Whether you're crafting shadows, telling ghost stories, or simply soaking in the flickering firelight, the Oak Yard invites all ages to slow down, play, and conjure a little magic under the autumn sky.

Dress for the weather and enjoy what the parkland has to offer this autumn, collect conkers, walk to Dinefwr Castle, explore the Deer Park and take in the beautiful autumn colours. Dinefwr is looking forward to welcoming you this October Half Term.
