Halloween hunting for spooky surprises for young and old at Athlone Castle

Athlone Castle is getting ready for its Spooky Halloween trail on Thursday, October 31.

Children and their parents are invited to take part in the trail and meet some of the friendly resident ghosts and ghouls as they explore the haunted trail throughout the castle visitor centre. Participating children should keep their eyes peeled for clues hidden all around the visitor centre and pay a visit to the castle witch, who will conjure a special Halloween prize for all the children who successfully complete the spooky trail.

Children are encouraged to dress up, as there will be plenty of photo opportunities. There will also be a colouring station to create frighteningly festive artwork.

This event will take place from 10 am to 4 pm on Thursday, October 31, and is suitable for children aged 4 and over. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Pre-booking is strongly advised for this Halloween Event, as limited spaces will be available. Ticket prices are subject to a booking fee.
