Halloween in South West Wales 2026
SOUTH WEST WALES offers a wonderfully varied setting for Halloween.
Swansea and its surrounding communities bring plenty of entertainment and nightlife, while Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire add castles, countryside, coastal attractions, family destinations and some suitably atmospheric historic settings.
Throughout October, Ewegottalove will be building a guide to Halloween across the region.
Expect major attractions, fright nights, family trails, pumpkin events, theatre, entertainment and the smaller community celebrations which help make Halloween a genuinely local occasion.

Featured Halloween Events
Here we will showcase some of the main Halloween attractions and events across South West Wales. New listings will be added throughout October.
SCREAMTIME – MARGAM COUNTRY PARK (15 October–1 November): One of the biggest Halloween attractions in Wales returns to Margam. The kilometre-long immersive Screamtime trail uses live actors, themed scare zones and horror attractions, while the lighter Spookytime experience provides an option for younger visitors aged seven and above. A Scare Village adds food, entertainment and fairground rides.
CALAN GAEAF AT DINEFWR (17 October–1 November): Newton House and the Oak Yard at Dinefwr embrace the traditions of a Welsh Halloween for half-term, with folklore, ghostly visitors and magical play bringing Calan Gaeaf to life in Carmarthenshire.
DINEFWR AT DUSK – NEWTON HOUSE (28–30 October): As daylight disappears across the Tywi Valley, Newton House takes on a rather different character. Dinefwr’s special dusk openings provide another atmospheric option during Halloween week.
HALLOWEEN TRAIL – KIDWELLY CASTLE (26 October–1 November): Kidwelly Castle joins Cadw’s Halloween programme with a week-long seasonal trail through one of Carmarthenshire’s most impressive medieval settings.
HALLOWEEN TRAIL – LAUGHARNE CASTLE (31 October): Visitors to Laugharne Castle can search for missing letters hidden around the site, eventually spelling out a Halloween word and earning a prize for completing the challenge.

Pumpkin Picking & Seasonal Attractions
Pumpkin fields, autumn days out and seasonal family attractions deserve their own place in the guide.
