Oystermouth Halloween CastleSwansea’s first haunted castle experience… enter if you dare!

Oystermouth Castle Time Slot 1: 6pm – 6.45pm Time Slot 2: 7.15pm – 8pm Time Slot 3: 8.25pm – 9.15pm The experience will take around 25-30 minutes. You can arrive anytime within your booked time slot but please be prepared to wait your turn – entry will be staggered, every couple of minutes. __________________________________________________ With hundreds of years of gruesome history, castles are not for the faint of heart – especially at night, and like every self-respecting castle, Oystermouth is thought to have its own resident ghost. Treading carefully, navigate your way through the 12th century vaults and ancient corridors of Oystermouth Castle – what lies beneath you or awaits you around every corner? With the lights out, who knows what unsettling spirits or creepy characters you might meet – are you brave enough to find out? Whatever you do, don’t disturb the White Lady! Funky Craft Fayre

The Brecon Craft Fair takes place in the town’s historic market hall and is held every third Saturday of the month between 9am and 5pm. Each and every month, up to around 60 traditional and independent craft workers and artists set up shop in the market hall, resulting in a truly unique collection of Welsh arts and crafts; from beautiful handmade soft furnishings to hand painted jewellery and locally crafted Faberge style eggs.
Not only will you be able to pick up a handful of goodies, you’ll also be able to talk to artists and craft workers themselves and find out just how much effort went into creating each and every item. You will be pleasantly surprised not only by the quality of the crafts on offer, but also by the fact that you can pick things up for the fraction of the price you’d find elsewhere. Venue: Brecon Market Hall, Brecon LD3 9AH Free Entry Every 3rd saturday of the month Photo below Star Gazing Night Sky in the Beacons
