A HAUNTED HALLOWEEN AT TRETOWER COURT AND CASTLE
This October and November Cadw is bringing the magic of Halloween to historic locations across Wales. As it celebrates its 40th birthday this year, Cadw is announcing an epic line up of spooky events for all ages at Tretower Court and Castle.

All events – from ghost tours to spooky tales and trails – can be found on Cadw’s website.
Tretower’s Trail of Terrible Tales
On the eve and day of Halloween, Tretower’s monumental court and castle will invite families to try the Halloween trail and discover the terrible tales that surround various inhabitants of Tretower.
