At Dublin Castle, you can unleash your creativity at the ‘Skull Mask Workshop’ or dive into the dark history of Morbid Medieval Dublin on a Specialised History Tour. Don't miss the chance to make your own ‘Victorian Bat Masks’ or ‘Deathly Debutante Collages’ at these unique workshops.

‘It is great to see such a diverse range of events on offer at a number of OPW locations throughout the country. Families will find plenty to enjoy in the coming weeks, with a range of workshops, tours and other fun activities on offer – there’s truly something for everyone, young and old’

Meanwhile, Aughnanure Castle will transform into a haunted haven for Halloween festivities, and Parkes Castle will share Spooky Halloween Tales with brave souls. For those seeking a spine-chilling experience, Charles Fort invites visitors to join their ‘Gruesome Ghostly Trail’ and the Rock of Cashel will take those who are brave enough on a journey through the graveyard.
