What to expect

Samhain is a time of remembrance, community, and connection—a moment when, the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Join us for two days of live music, exhibitions, storytelling, performers, games, and ancient traditions, culminating in a spectacular torchlit procession and the lighting of the sacred Samhain Fire at the centre of Ireland.

Come celebrate the turning of the year, when we embrace the darkness that awaits at Ireland’s most ancient and meaningful sites.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
