13 images from Welsh city's 'spectacular' Halloween event

Swansea city centre was transformed into a Halloween haven this weekend, as ghouls and ghosts of all kinds descended for the spectacular Spooks in the City event. St David’s Place morphed into a house of enchantment, thrilling families with live entertainment, spooky competitions, and a ghost train.

The immersive entertainment captivated participants, featuring live spooky science experiments on stage, face painting, and visits from beloved characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse, as well as Halloween regular Frankenstein Monster. There were also plenty of games, dancing, music and even a photo booth, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Swansea local, Nicola Williams, said: "We came last year, and we were pleased to come again. A fun, free activity to get the kids dressed up in the lead up to Halloween and start the half term". Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events and Tourism at Swansea Council, said: "Spooks in the City was a fantastic free family day out and we’re delighted it went so well, attracting hundreds more people into the city centre."

He added: "Along with providing safe, enjoyable and free entertainment in the city for Halloween, local businesses benefitted from an increase in footfall over the weekend. This is the first of a number of events taking place in the coming weeks as we look to further boost the city centre’s vibrancy in the build up to Christmas."
