The Welsh Museums Festival returns this half-term with a fantastic lineup of events across Wales, spotlighting the history of Wales as well as Halloween - including a special event at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery.

Held between October 26 and November 3, the festival offers an exciting range of free and family-friendly activities that will immerse visitors in Welsh history, culture, and traditions.

Most of the participating museums will offer a ghost hunt for younger visitors, and free booklet to learn about past Halloween traditions in Wales, including turnip lanterns, the ‘Cropped Black Sow’, dirty blackberries, lucky stones and ‘Magic Mash’.
