Dalkey Castle Halloween Tours

This event has ended

Dalkey Castle & Heritage Centre, Wednesday 27th October - Sunday 31st October

The Witches have taken over Dalkey Castle this Halloween!

Help the Archer to banish them to the hills!

Outside, you can pick your steps around a haunted graveyard and meet a real ghost, the ancient protector of the Castle.

Carry the Jack O’Lantern to ward off evil spirits. Stand in The Murder Room of the Castle, and dodge through the terrible things that descend through The Murder Hole.

Each Halloween, watch out for the ghostly Viking warriors, who captured slaves and imprisoned them on Dalkey Island. Pay the Viking taxes, or ‘you will pay through the nose’.

Make your own Viking coins to go into the Halloween Barm Brack. Weave magic spells with the good witch around her cauldron and much more besides.
