A Paranormal Investigation & Family Friendly Pumpkin Patch

This event has ended

The Mansion House, Wednesday 30th October - Saturday 2nd November

Over four days starting Wednesday October 30th, teenagers will venture through the eerie rooms and haunted halls, delving into the supernatural hair-raising special effects, and chilling ghost stories from Dublin's past.

Tickets are priced at €5 per person, per time slot inclusive of a €1 booking fee with a charitable contribution being made to Barnardo’s children’s charity. A number of tickets will also be made available for use by inner city community groups and other community initiatives located around Dublin City.

A Paranormal Investigation will take place Wednesday to Saturday, October 30th & 31st and Friday November 1st & Saturday 2nd from 4pm to 8:30pm daily.

At the launch of this new experience, the Lord Mayor said that as part of Dublin’s ongoing commitment to becoming the first neurodiverse capital city in the world, relaxed performances have also been scheduled. “While the main event is for teenagers ages 13+, we are also going to provide a pumpkin patch in the Mansion House Garden transformed for the occasion to welcome children of all ages.

Wander through the fun Halloween decorations, have your face-painted and enjoy some seasonal treats as you select your very own perfect pumpkin to take home and carve.”

The Pumpkin Patch is free of charge and will operate on a first come, first served queuing system. The Pumpkin Patch in the Mansion House Garden will be open on Friday November 1st & Saturday November 2nd from 12pm to 4pm daily
