SPOOKY evening tours are to return to one of North Wales’ oldest attractions.
Following a complete sell-out of its evening tours during 2010 at Plas Mawr in Conwy, Cadw, the Welsh Assembly Government’s historic environment service, is bringing Blodwen the maid out of the shadows.
Two tours will take place every Thursday, starting from April 14.
The hour-long tours, which can accommodate up to 22 persons at a time, will take place at 6pm and again at 7.30pm.
The tours will increase to twice-weekly during the summer, with private tour requests also considered subject to availability.
Blue Badge guide Rhian Wyn Jones will play the part of Blodwen the maid again as she peels back the layers of history to offer an entertaining journey into the intriguing past of this supposedly haunted house.
Rhian, who lives in Conwy, said, “I have been thrilled with the response to the evening tours at Plas Mawr and it’s great to back for more in 2011. There was an obvious need for more out of hours events in Conwy and it’s great to see such a positive response from the public and travel trade alike.
“From the old passageways to the eerie pentagrams to ward off evil spirits there’s plenty to make your hair stand on end but there will also be plenty of fun along the way. I’m looking forward to sharing the wonders of Plas Mawr for those brave enough to join me.”
Tickets for the Plas Mawr evening tours will be available from April 1st on 01492 580167, priced at £6.
