Halloween is coming to Machynlleth this autumn at a haunted manor house.

Plas Dolguog will be transformed into a glowing Halloween playground this October half-term.

Thanks to a new collaboration with local creatives, the venue will be offering ghoulishly good games and frightfully fun festivities for all the family.

Across three days, there will be pumpkin carving, mask-making, a spooky sports day, trick-or-treating and kids' disco and an adults-only Hallowrave finale.

The new event is made possible by Miss Popularity Productions and Light ‘Em Up production event companies.

Tess Cartright, entertainer and director of Miss Popularity Productions, said: “This is Halloween, Machynlleth-style — full of light, laughter, and a touch of fright, we’re mixing Welsh warmth with North American Halloween mischief.

“Expect tricks, treats, and plenty of community spirit — it’s going to be a scream!”
