This Halloween, join us at Castell Conwy for a spooky escape room experience. 

Discover the secrets of notorious Welsh magician Maldwyn mab Diafol, and test your skills by escaping the warlock’s chamber!

Over seven hundred years ago, the King of England captured one of his deadliest enemies, the Welsh magician Maldwyn mab Diafol.

Maldwyn was kept prisoner at Castell Conwy, locked in the chapel tower for a year and a day. However, on the morning after Halloween night in 1303, Maldwyn’s guards unlocked his chamber to find the wizard had vanished!

Over seven hundred and twenty years later, Maldwyn’s cell has finally been reopened. Visitors will get the chance to solve the mystery of Maldwyn mab Diafol, and to escape from the warlock’s chamber themselves!

For teams of 2 - 6 players; £4 per player (in addition to normal admission charge).

Suitable for visitors 10+. All children under seventeen will require adult supervision.


Prices

Normal admission charge. Plus £4 charge to take part in the activity.
