Powis Castle will feature spooky illuminations for the first time this Halloween.
Powis Castle and Garden in Welshpool will open its gates for a haunting spectacle on October 31 and November 1.
For the first time, the castle will open from 4.30pm to 7pm and invite people to explore the property after dark.
There will be haunting projections that will illuminate the ancient walls and the courtyard, as well as friendly hosts dressed in elegant Victorian costume.
Shane Logan, general manager for Powis Castle and Garden, said: "We look forward to welcoming everyone to Powis this Halloween.
"Preparations have already started and we’re all looking forward to it.
"Opening out of hours ensures everyone has a chance to join in the fun as we continue to make Powis as accessible for as many people as possible."
Visitors are encouraged to come in fancy dress to enjoy the new experience.
Sarah Johnson, visitor operations and experience manager, said: "There’s something for everyone to enjoy this Halloween.
"A lot of thought has gone in into the light projections upon the castle.
"The historic castle will provide the backdrop for an eerie and mysterious evening.
"Visitors will also be able to treat themselves to warm drinks and light bites from the Courtyard Café.
"There’s no better place to sip a warming Pumpkin Spice Latte whilst enjoying the immersive atmosphere within the courtyard."
As well as the castle illuminations, families can also enjoy the half-term Pumpkin Trail which will take place in the world-famous garden from 25 October to 2 November, 10am – 4pm.
Visitors are invited to enjoy an autumn adventure following the pumpkins as they meander down to the Great Lawn and Edwardian Formal Garden.
