The event, part of the Cardiff Halloween Festival, has been a hot topic, with mixed reviews since its opening this weekend. Now, Mother Nature has decided to join the party, forcing a temporary closure. The Met Office warns of coastal gales and heavy rain, meaning it’s just too risky to run the show tonight.

But don’t pack away your costumes just yet! The organisers are inviting all ticket holders to visit on another day, promising your Halloween night will remain magical. If you’re planning to come tomorrow, just turn up with your current ticket—it’s still valid for entry. Note that boat crossings won’t be available for those moving their visit from tonight due to limited capacity. But fear not, Halloween Island is only a 15-minute stroll from Mermaid Quay, with crew members ready to guide you.

For guests with mobility issues, there’s a limited buggy service, offered on a first-come, first-served basis—just speak to a crew member at Mermaid Quay.

Can’t make it tomorrow? No worries—a full refund will be processed automatically within 10 business days. The team expresses their sincere apologies for the inconvenience and looks forward to welcoming everyone to enjoy the haunted wonders soon. The spirit of Halloween isn’t going anywhere, and the thrills await! 👻🔮

Stay safe and enjoy the spook-tacular fun when you do visit! 💀🎉
