Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early for the family-friendly St David's Peculiar Place, especially if attending the 4:30 PM fancy dress competition, as it's popular.
  • For a truly spooky experience, explore Amy Dillwyn Dark Park after dusk when the 'terrifying creatures and chilling sights' are most effective.
  • Complete the Monster Mash-up Photo Trail by visiting all eight monsters across the three designated areas to enter the prize draw.
  • Check the event schedule for specific times of 'tales of terror' talks and the fancy dress competition to plan your visit.
  • Consider the event's 3 PM to 8 PM timing; it's ideal for families to enjoy the lighter activities before it gets fully dark and scarier.
