October in Plas Newydd, Llangollen
Plas Newydd House and Tearooms will be staying open in October, but will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
There will be a whole host of spooky-fun going on at Plas Newydd during October. The Llangollen-based museum is hosting a series of events over the coming weeks specially designed for Halloween.
From October 20th to 31st there will be the Halloween Trail to enjoy from 11am to 2.30pm. Pop into Plas Newydd and follow the trail, gather creepy clues and win a prize. The trail is available from the tearoom at a cost of £3 per person.
On Tuesday October 23 from 6.30pm to 8pm “Death on the Canal” will take place at Plas Newydd. Local historian and author Peter Brown will set the tone with tales of accidents, drunkenness, stupidity and murders. Advance booking is required.
A fabulous Witches' Tea Party is going ahead on Wednesday October 31. The event runs from 3pm to 5pm with revellers meeting at Plas Newydd's art exhibition centre, Y Caban. There will be stories, crafts, games, and of course a tea party with Plas Newydd's very own witches and wizards. There is a charge of £6 per person and advance booking is required.
Meanwhile, away from Halloween, Plas Newydd is eager to hear from anyone who would like to volunteer to help keep its grounds in tip-top shape. The museum has some 12-acres of land in total. The widely varying landscape includes everything from beautiful intricate gardens to rugged woodlands.
The contribution of volunteers towards maintenance of the grounds is well-established and greatly appreciated. If anyone would like to know more they are welcome to get in contact for further details.
