Halloween Spooktacular in Rhondda: seven activities from £17.50
Families can visit Halloween Spooktacular at Rhondda Heritage Park Museum from Wednesday 28 October to Friday 30 October 2026. Four sessions are scheduled each day, beginning at 10am, and tickets start at £17.50 for one adult and one child, including the booking fee.
The three-day event combines pumpkin picking, live entertainment, crafts and an underground Halloween experience. Every child’s ticket includes seven activities, giving families a defined programme spread around the museum rather than a single performance or trail.
Seven Halloween experiences around the museum
Children can choose a pumpkin from the event’s patch and take it home. A Halloween hunt will lead visitors through the museum in search of hidden surprises, with stamps to collect and a treat available on completion.
The programme also includes a live Halloween show featuring seasonal characters, laughter and mischief. Hands-on arts and crafts provide another part of the session, while themed selfie stations create dedicated places for family photographs.
The Abandoned Mine adds an underground element to the visit. Families will enter an enchanted mine featuring singing skeletons, spooky surprises and Patch, the event’s returning pumpkin character.
Two classic fairground rides complete the seven experiences included with each child’s ticket. Taken together, the programme mixes guided entertainment with activities children can complete or explore during their allocated session. Families considering other seasonal outings can also explore these pumpkin-picking days out in Lancashire.
Choosing between daytime and Twilight sessions
Visitors can book one of three daytime slots or an evening Twilight Session:
| Session | Time |
|---|---|
| Morning | 10am–12pm |
| Early afternoon | 12.30pm–2.30pm |
| Late afternoon | 3pm–5pm |
| Twilight Session | 6pm–8pm |
All four options include the seven advertised activities. The Twilight Session then adds exclusive evening entertainment involving eerie characters and further surprises around the museum.
That makes timing the main difference families need to consider when booking. The daytime sessions provide the complete core programme, while the 6pm slot adds the event’s after-dark entertainment without replacing any of the included activities.
Ticket prices and details to check before travelling
The advertised starting price is £17.50 for one adult and one child, with the booking fee included. Other ticket combinations and individual tickets can be selected during booking, although their prices are not stated in the announcement.
Tickets are now on sale for every session across the three event dates, according to Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, which organises the event. Councillor Scott Emanuel, the council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture and Leisure, said the programme gives families an opportunity to combine entertainment, creativity and seasonal activities.
The council notice does not provide a street address, transport advice or accessibility information. Families who need any of those details should check them separately before booking or travelling to Rhondda Heritage Park Museum.
