Did you know that Halloween began on the island of Ireland?

The spooky season began as an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced "sow-in"), celebrated over 2,000 years ago. Marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, Samhain was a time when the Celts believed the veil between the living and the dead was at its thinnest. Bonfires were lit, costumes were worn to ward off spirits, and offerings were made to appease the otherworldly beings.

Today, Halloween is bigger than ever on the island of Ireland and the spirit of Samhain lives on with spooktacular festivals and celebrations that are a MUST for your travel bucket list
The Púca Festival (31st October- 3rd November) in County Meath reimagines ancient traditions with music, fire displays, storytelling, and food inspired by the Samhain spirt. Whilst in Northern Ireland, Derry Halloween (27th – 31st October) is renowned for being one of the best Halloween festivals in the world! With street parades, haunted trails along the city’s 400-year-old walls and even fireworks The Bram Stoker Festival (25th October – 28th October) celebrates the legacy of one of Ireland’s most beloved and iconic writers, author of the world-famous Dracula, with outdoor spectacles, choral performances and plays.

With just over 7 weeks to go there’s still time to get planning your spooky adventure and experience the home of Halloween
