Halloween Spooktacular in Rhondda: three days from £17.50
Families can step into three days of pumpkins, live shows and underground surprises when Halloween Spooktacular returns to Rhondda Heritage Park Museum from Wednesday 28 to Friday 30 October. Sessions begin at 10am, while tickets start at £17.50 for one adult and one child, including the booking fee.
The Rhondda Cynon Taf event is designed for families, with seven experiences included in every child’s ticket. Daytime visits run in two-hour slots, and the returning Twilight Sessions extend the programme into the evening.
Seven Halloween experiences in every child’s ticket
The visit begins with a pumpkin patch where each child can choose a pumpkin to take home. A Halloween hunt then sends families around the museum in search of hidden surprises and stamps, with a treat awarded for completing the activity.
Live performances will mix comedy, mischief and Halloween themes, while hands-on arts and crafts provide a quieter creative stop. Families can also use the themed spooky selfie stations for photographs.
The museum’s industrial setting becomes part of the programme inside the Abandoned Mine. Visitors will head underground for an enchanted experience featuring singing skeletons, spooky encounters and Patch, the event’s returning pumpkin character.
Two classic fairground rides complete the seven advertised experiences for children. The council describes the programme as suitable for all ages, although it has not published separate age recommendations for individual activities.
Daytime and Twilight Session times
Each booked slot lasts two hours. The three daytime sessions contain the full activity programme, while the evening option adds appearances from eerie characters and further after-dark surprises.
| Session | Time |
|---|---|
| Morning | 10am–12pm |
| Early afternoon | 12.30pm–2.30pm |
| Late afternoon | 3pm–5pm |
| Twilight Session | 6pm–8pm |
Families comparing autumn days out can also explore other seasonal events planned for 2026.
Ticket prices and booking details
The advertised starting price is £17.50 for a ticket covering one adult and one child, with the booking fee included. Rhondda Cynon Taf Council says other ticket combinations and individual tickets are available through the booking process, but the announcement does not list their prices.
Councillor Scott Emanuel, the council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture and Leisure, said the event gives families a day out combining entertainment, creativity and seasonal activities. He highlighted the pumpkin selection, Abandoned Mine, live performances and returning Twilight Sessions among this year’s programme.
Tickets are already on sale through the council’s Halloween Spooktacular announcement. No transport guidance, venue address or specific accessibility arrangements were included in the published event information, so visitors needing those details should check them before booking their preferred session.
