Arts & Gasps: A Petrifying Ceramic Pumpkin Painting Workshop

Come make something BOO-tiful with us! The cost is €10 per child and children must be accompanied by an adult. Ceramic pumpkin figurine, paints, and paintbrushes included. Spaces are limited, so book now to avoid disappointment.
The Screech Walk Returns
For those with nerves of steel, the Screech Walk offers spine-tingling encounters and unexpected scares designed especially for older children who dare to tread its path. For those who don’t appreciate jump-scares, our Haunted Garden will be the setting for a mysterious trail that winds past gravestones and hidden secrets, perfect for curious explorers. Families can also look forward to creative fun with face painting, ceramic pumpkin painting, and pumpkin carving.
No celebration would be complete without stories, and we are delighted to welcome the renowned storyteller Eddie Lenihan, who will weave his legendary tales in the atmospheric surroundings of the garden. Visitors arriving in costume will find the perfect spot to capture their Halloween look at our themed photo booth!
