Ghost hunt event to take place at Llanyrafon Manor Farm
Llanyrafon Manor Farm, in Cwmbran, is hosting a 12-hour lockdown and fear ball ghost hunt.
Those brave enough are invited to bring their own bedding and spend the night inside the reportedly haunted building.
(Image: Supplied) The event will include a paranormal investigation with Tracey and Nigel Turner, séance technique experiments, and a free exploration of the site's three acres of grounds.
Visitors will have access to most areas, including the Tudor kitchen, Great Chamber, and attic bedrooms.
The history of Llanyrafon Manor Farm dates back to the mid-1500s, and it's thought that a timber-framed medieval building stood on the site as far back as the 13th century.
The site was possibly a farm for the monks of Llantarnam Abbey, and some of its remains can still be seen today.
The Griffiths family owned the manor for centuries, with the earliest member of the family appearing to be Walter Griffith of Llanyrafon, who practised as an attorney and left a will dated November 20, 1629.
The manor once stood in a thousand acres of ground, and during the First World War, three Italian prisoners of war worked on the farm.
In the Second World War, members of the Women's Land Army worked the farm, learning how to perform tasks including ploughing, milking, harvesting, and digging.
Today, Llanyrafon Manor Farm stands as grand as ever, its history once again showcased for all to enjoy.
A free breakfast and unlimited teas, coffees, hot chocolate, bottled waters, juice, and biscuits will be available.
The event is not open to pregnant ladies or anyone intending to consume drugs or alcohol.
Over in Abersychan, Garndiffaith Millennium Hall will host a murder mystery evening.
(Image: Supplied) The event, which will run from 6pm to 9pm on Saturday, June 7, invites attendees to come along and solve the mystery.
A ploughman's supper is included in the ticket price of £6.50.
For those interested in the murder mystery evening, tickets will be available from the hall or via Eventbrite.
Flash Back will travel across the border to the Olway Inn, Usk, on Saturday, June 7.
(Image: Supplied) The band will perform rock and pop hits from the 60s to the 00s, promising an evening of dance and sing-along for all.
Tintern Abbey will also be hosting a historical event over both days of the weekend.
(Image: Supplied) Visitors will be able to discover all about monastic life in the high medieval period at one of the nation's largest monasteries of the time.
The Chapter of Stronghold re-enactment group will portray the lives of monastic people, including monks, nuns, and laypeople as they write, pray, live, and eat at Tintern Abbey.
There will be authentic cooking, manuscript writing, a holy reliquary, and more.
Normal admission prices apply for this event.
