Calan Gaeaf | October Half Term at Llanerchaeron

Mwynhewch hwyl hanner tymor yn Llanerchaeron | Enjoy an extended October half term opening at Llanerchaeron

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Step into a world of magic, mystery and spooky fun this Calan Gaeaf! Become an apprentice apothecary and follow our magical trail around Llanerchaeron, collecting ingredients to create your very own protection spell. Meet storyteller Peter Stevenson for tales of Calan Gaeaf, then, as darkness falls, brave our spooky after-dark trails (booking essential for these). With plenty of family-friendly fun along the way, it's the perfect autumn adventure — and your last chance to explore the house before our festive Christmas weekends begin.

There's plenty to do indoors, there'll be an autumnal theme in the house, providing one of the last chances to see the house before it closes for the winter months. The Play room will also be in the stable block providing some fun shelter, and don't forget to visit the farmyard animals.
