50+ family-friendly events and activities in and near Cardiff for half term and Halloween 2026
The schools are out for October half term and Halloween and if you’re looking for ideas to entertain the children, then I have got you covered with more than 50 ideas for family events and activities. There’s loads of Halloween events from immersive experiences to pumpkin picking and events which explore the traditional Welsh Calan Gaeaf. And if you want something that doesn’t involve Halloween, then there’s theatre shows and performances, arts and crafts and more, including several events.
If you’re looking for general places to visit, rather than organised events, then check out my posts on any of my social media channels for local days out ideas.
Please remember, check ahead with organisers as details can change last minute including cancellations. This is especially important with the current severe weather warnings, with several outdoor events sadly having been cancelled already. Please do check ahead.
I share lots of days out ideas on here and my social media channels. Do give me a follow and let me help you take the stress out of ideas for local days out.
