EPIC Museum and Online, Friday 22nd October - Sunday 31st October

This midterm break, EPIC is the perfect place for families looking to ‘Trick or Treat’ and spook up their week with our exciting range of events. Our entertaining and educational events offer families the opportunity to celebrate Halloween safely, whilst also learning about Ireland’s Samhain traditions.

We have also joined up with Samhain Festival to celebrate the ancient origins of Halloween, returning us to our folkloric roots with ghostly tales and inspiring a new generation to unleash their inner Seanchaí. From our virtual Trick or Treat experience to our Spine-Tingling crafting challenge, there is something for all members of the family to enjoy.

So if you’re brave enough, enter EPIC’s eerie vaults this Halloween and let the fun begin!
