The estate after dark
Whispers echo through its stone halls - they say the ghosts search for intruders who dare enter after dark. Some claim to have seen shadows in the windows... others swear they’ve felt a breathe.
Common questions
Are you open in bad weather? +
Yes, Scream Time takes place in the late afternoon/evening in October and November in the UK – we expect some bad weather! At Margam the event is outside, with one large section through the Castle. The Scare village has under-cover seating so you can still enjoy your ghostly goodies.
Wrap up warm, wear your boots/wellies & don’t be scared of a little bit of rain!!!!
*In the unlikely event that the weather was so extreme that it posed a Health and Safety risk, Scream Time would not proceed on that evening, all guests would be notified in advance of this with details of how to re-arrange their visit.
(Search terms: storm, wind, lightening, snow)
