About this event
During Samhain, when the veil between the living and the dead grows thin, the Taylor family return to Ardgillan Castle, Fingal, the home they once knew. Confused to find strangers wandering their halls, admiring their portraits and inspecting their furniture, these ghostly former residents set out to discover what has become of their beloved estate. Led by the Taylor ghosts, visitors journey through the castle's atmospheric rooms, where family squabbles, local history, and chilling tales intertwine. Along the way, they will encounter the haunting legend of the Lady of the Stairs in a unique Halloween experience filled with humour, folklore, and genuine scares.
5 shows a night. €12 Adult, €38 family, €8 child
