Celebrate Halloween with an evening of woodland discovery, creativity and Welsh folklore at Yr Oriel Fyw, Plas Glyn-y-Weddw.

Start by decorating a stone with a forest-inspired design – perhaps a leaf, mushroom, tree or woodland animal – using fluorescent paint. Then take a walk through the Winllan with UV torches to discover how plants and fungi appear in unexpected colours. Let’s see what we can find!

Gather in a circle to talk about the woodland as winter approaches and hear about Yr Hwch Ddu Gwta, the tailless black sow of Welsh folklore. Swap stones, place them within a marked area, and return to the circle before using your torch to find your own creation.

The last finder has a playful encounter with the black sow, and everyone receives a Welsh sweet treat and takes their stone home.

*Bilingual session
