Team Abertoir’s been taking a breather after our massive 20th edition and we’ve made a decision: we’re taking it down a notch for 2026. There won’t be a big 5-day festival in 2026, but we’re certainly not going to be dormant – far from it!

Hello! Not yet, but hopefully we'll get photos out there soon!
Caught this at @abertoirfest.bsky.social last week. It's a stunning restoration of a wonderful gothic yarn and a must for fans of Barbara Steele.
My three favourite new releases at the recent Abertoir Horror Festival in Aberystwyth...
One of the highlights of the festival this year. Really enjoyed it Simon was excellent, his band phenomenal and it was so much fun.
Old Dark House was so very very good , loved the humour. I need to get a copy as has crept into my top 5 favourite films! Thanks Abertoir Film Festival!

Georgina had a fantastic time at the 20th @abertoirfest.bsky.social, seeing Simon Boswell in concert, South Korean thriller Noise, and short films from around the world.
A huge thanks and well done to the whole team!
We also raised £90 on our small charity stall this year, which we’ll round up to £100 and donate to Médecins Sans Frontières.
‘Til next time…!
The Abertoir audience voted THE OLD DARK HOUSE (James Whale, 1932) as their favourite classic feature of the festival – screened on a perfectly dark and stormy day in Wales!
The top voted new feature film at Abertoir 2025 – and by some margin! – is MĀRAMA, directed by Taratoa Stappard. We were joined by Taratoa for a Q&A after our UK screening of this remarkable film, which releases next year in New Zealand and Australia. We hope to see it more widely in the UK soon!
The winner of the Abertoir Short Film award and this year’s Méliès d’argent is GRANDMA IS THIRSTY, directed by Kris Carr. The film will now go on to compete for the Méliès d’or for Best European Short Film, among all the other Méliès d’argent winners. We’re rooting for you, Kris!
We wrapped the 20th Abertoir late on Sunday and can’t thank you enough for joining us – 5 days of horror, old and new, and all the delights in between!
As the dust settles & we return to our crypts to sleep, we want to reiterate our thanks to you all for joining us again, both old friends and new.
@abertoirfest.bsky.social Totally amazing festival!!! What a SCREAM!! See you next year!! @chrishathway.co.uk

🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Sadly @abertoirfest.bsky.social is all over but what a wonderful festival. Maggie and I had such a fantastic time and will definitely be returning next year. Thank you so much for all your hard work Gaz, Rhys and Nia. So glad I finally got to meet you! Oh and Nia…
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank YOU so much for coming! 🖤
Watched Mārama last night at @abertoirfest.bsky.social Suitably impressive. A powerful anti-colonial tale of cultural appropriation, torn families, abuse beneath the veneer of civilisation, and righteous, roaring revenge. Highly recommended.

I’ve been looking forward to this one all festival 💎 @abertoirfest.bsky.social
