This event has ended

Marlay Park, Saturday 25th October - Sunday 26th October

Prepare for a Scare! SAMHAIN is back for this year's eerie edition in Marlay Park on Saturday October 25th and Sunday October 26th, 2025.

It's going to be a spooktacular of screeches, shrieks and shivers featuring Banshees, Witches, Snakes, and a fire breathing Dragon.

Tickets are €5 each which will admit two people. (excl. booking fee) and on sale at 10am on Saturday October 4th from dlrevents.eventbrite.ie.

Get your tickets and your group of at least two together for the spookiest start to Halloween. The Haunted Walk will be seventeen hundred metres of macabre and malevolent menaces guaranteed to make this Halloween a supernatural scarefest. Get involved and wear your most ferocious fancy dress to Samhain so you can scare the scarers.

We want to see you in your Halloween costumes but remember SAMHAIN is an outdoor event, so warm clothing is recommended. The walk is approx. 1.7km long on a path suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.

The 4.30pm walk on Saturday and 3.30pm walk on Sunday will be tailored to suit people with special needs. This means that music and sound effects will be quieter, special effects and lighting will be softer, and we will limit the number of visitors in comparison to other entry times.
