Haunted Literary Tours – Samhain at MoLI

Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), Saturday 24th October - Saturday 31st October

Where Irish literature meets its darkest legends.

As the veil thins at Samhain, join us for a journey through the hidden folklore, horrors and spirits of our house on St Stephen's Green. Running daily from Saturday 24 to Saturday 31 October, 2pm-3pm, this is your chance to explore MoLI's darker side this Samhain.

You'll encounter Burn-Chapel Whaley and the Hellfire Club, whose wild history is tied to this very building, and come face-to-face with the death masks of Patrick Kavanagh and Brendan Behan. Along the way, we'll trace the Irish roots of Dracula and explore the changelings, fairy hills and ghost stories that run through Irish writing. And if you feel a chill on the landing, well, we did warn you.

Tickets are €18. MoLI Members receive 50% off regular museum tours. Children aged 12 and under go free when accompanied by a paying adult. Places are strictly limited, so book now!
