Saturday October 26th and Sunday October 27th 2024 sees the return of SAMHAIN to Marlay Park with heaps of Halloween horrors! Prepared to be scared by some old frightening favourites like the Lumber Brother, Barber and Butcher and Witches and watch out for some atrocious new attractions!

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.
