Halloween After Dark
A Spooky Wild Swim
Saturday 31 October 2026 | 5pm
Penninghame Pond, Newton Stewart
Fancy doing Halloween a little differently this year?
Forget the sofa. Grab your costume, your swimming kit and your courage and join me for a spooky wild swim after dark at Penninghame Pond.
Set in an atmospheric woodland just outside Newton Stewart, this is wild swimming with a Halloween twist.
We'll meet as daylight starts to fade, get in for a refreshing dip as twilight turns to darkness, then head back to the fire pit to warm up.
There'll be hot soup, toasted marshmallows, firelight and plenty of Halloween atmosphere.
And yes, fancy dress is encouraged!
Expect
- A guided wild swim at Penninghame Pond
- Twilight turning into darkness
- A spooky woodland setting
- Halloween fancy dress
- Fire pit and firelight
- Marshmallows to toast
- Hot soup after your swim
- Good company and plenty of laughs
This is a guided wild swimming experience, so you'll need to be comfortable swimming in open water. The swim will be guided according to conditions and adjusted if necessary.
Come for the swim. Stay for the fire.
Whether you're a witch, vampire, skeleton, ghost or something considerably more questionable, get your costume sorted and come and join me for a Halloween night in the woods.
