Set in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, just outside Aberystwyth, is a Halloween event that will deliver you a night of terror, thrills, and laughter. Join us from this October, as we unleash Terror Mountain, an offering of 4 LIVE ACTION HORROR ATTRACTIONS, scary entertainment and much more.

We’ve got a real treat for ‘victims’ in 2018, as we have created 3 brand new nightmares for you to face! We bring your deepest and darkest fears to life, in terrifyingly convincing, highly themed experiences. Set in a genuine Victorian mine, we hold the key to your night of thrills, fun and screams! We can’t be called Terror Mountain without backing up the claim. So, what can you expect from our attractions? Well, let us break it down for you;

RELIC: NEW FOR 2018

Congratulations! You have been invited to attend the unveiling ceremony of our brand-new exhibition at the Ponterwyd Museum of Curiosities. Come and marvel at our acquisitions, enjoy a variety of our other oddities and gawp at our exciting collection. The centrepiece for this brand-new showcase is an ancient Relic, which dates back 100’s of years. However, don’t touch the artefacts, the curator is very protective…

SUMMONING: NEW FOR 2018

“It would be fun” they said. I’d been on a Paranormal Investigation at The Silver Mountain Experience in the summer, and I felt something, something not quite right then. Whoever thought doing a Ouija board was a good idea… Surely, you’ve seen those dodgy films? Surely no one wants to mess around with what they don’t know? No one believes me, but I can feel ‘her’ inside me, clawing at my thoughts, turning the light to dark. The doctors think I’m crazy, my friends and family agree. They plan to do it again, but don’t go, I beg you…

RETRIBUTION: NEW FOR 2018

Foolish mortals…

You believe that you are a good person, an un-tainted soul, but we can smell your sins, we feed on your impurities and relish in your unkind actions. Humans are a disease, and one that shall be purged. The inferno shall rise again and scourge those who continue to act in their disgusting manner, with your actions being weighted in both their good and bad. Join us, as you descend into the depths of the great inferno, where you will come face to face with some of our most nightmarish creatures known to this world, and we’ll show you what hell really looks like!

THE UNKNOWN

Strange happenings have been reported to authorities for months now, and the situation has now reached media attention. The secretive organisation U.T.U.R (Unknown Threat Response Unit) have been dispatched to the site, and they request civilians to join the investigation to discover the truth behind these mysterious happenings. Strange lights, odd noises, phone interference, missing persons and more have all led to this point in the investigation. The present nature of what we are dealing with is currently unknown…

As well as these 4 LIVE ACTION HORROR ATTRACTIONS, we’ve got some delicious food on offer, as well as some terrifyingly funny characters roaming around to make sure you are having a good

time… or else! Running on selected nights from the 19th – 31st October 2018, Terror Mountain is a great night out for friends, for family, for a date (if you’re into scaring your date silly of course) or an office outing. Don’t miss out, grab your tickets online at www.terrormountain.co.uk/tickets, and save 20%!

Due to the terrifying nature of Terror Mountain, it isn’t recommended for the under 12’s. If you’re looking or something else to do with the younger ones this Halloween, we are also running a spooky Half Term Halloween event at The Silver Mountain Experience, where we host Terror Mountain.

We look forward to scaring you soon…

A TRAVELLING musician has appeared before magistrates after being found driving his campervan through Haverfordwest when he was over three times the legal drug-drive limit.

Jacob Sparkes, 34, was stopped by officers as he drove his Renault Traffic campervan through Thomas Parry Way, Haverfordwest, on July 20. A roadside drugs wipe proved positive while further blood tests carried out at the police custody suite showed he had 6.9 mcg of Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol in his system. The legal limit is 2.

Sparkes pleaded guilty to the offence and was legally represented in court by solicitor Michael Kelleher.

“The defendant began taking cannabis as a form of self medication as a result of his epilepsy,” said Mr Kelleher. “At the time of the offence he was travelling in a campervan around Wales, playing music at various festivals.”

Sparkes, of Beech Road, Fairwater, Cardiff, was disqualified from driving for 12 months. He was fined £80 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £32 surcharge.

POLICE, ambulance crews and the air ambulance are attending to what is being described as a ‘serious incident’ at Tenby’s multi-storey car park this evening (Jan 2).

Witnesses said they heard shouting and other commotion in the car park, and shortly afterwards emergency services were at the scene.

Another witness said: “I was in Tenby and saw the helicopter hovering, then heard loads of sirens and didn’t know what was going on, then when I drove past the multi-storey in Park Road I saw loads of blue lights and people gathered.

“It happened right near the motorcycle section of the car park, so the very front near Sainsbury’s.

“This looks to be a very serious incident judging by the large emergency vehicle response.”

Police have asked the public to avoid the area whilst the incident is being dealt with.

They said: “There are currently delays due to a road traffic collision.

“Please be patient and take an alternative route if possible or plan extra time into your journey.”

A PEMBROKESHIRE woman has been sentenced for stealing bank cards from a young mother attending to her three young children at Carmarthen Railway Station toilet.

Kelly Rees, 35, a new mother herself, discovered the bag belonging to Cheryl Lewis on August 20. When Rees looked inside, she discovered a purse containing three bank cards and £2 in cash.

This week, Crown Prosecutor Sian Vaughan told Haverfordwest magistrates that Rees, of Precelly Place, Milford Haven, removed the purse from the bag and travelled back to Pembrokeshire where she made multiple attempts to use the stolen cards to purchase items. These included a visit to Tesco, Milford Haven, where she purchased goods valued at £189 using one of the stolen cards.

Ms Vaughan said the offences were committed while Rees was serving a Community Order for previous convictions.

Rees pleaded guilty to theft and of fraud by false representation.

“She’s genuinely remorseful for her actions,” said her solicitor Michael Kelleher. “She’s recently given birth, but her child will now be going into foster care.”

After considering a comprehensive probation report, magistrates sentenced Rees to 18 weeks in custody suspended for 12 months. She must carry out 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days and was ordered to pay £189 compensation to Cheryl Lewis, a £154 court surcharge and £85 costs.

“Multiple attempts to use those cards does not reflect well on your thinking process,” commented the presiding magistrate when sentencing Kelly Rees.
