Samhain – the spookiest event of the year returns to Marlay Park on Sunday, October 26th 2014. Ditch the fancy dress, it’s the time of the year for scary dress in your ghouliest Halloween outfit to join the “dlrevents demons” for the Samhain Haunted Forest Walk.
This year’s Samhain will feature a longer route of spook than ever before with more scare footage of chills, freaks and frights than you can shake a broom at. The forest at Marlay Park will be alive, for one night only with freaky fog, ghastly spiders, all seeing eyeballs, spine chilling skeletons, menacing witches and wizards and rotten pirates.
Festoon lighting, sound effects and smoke will all add to the scare factor with the haunted forest open until 8.30pm. The haunted forest is not for the faint hearted or easily freaked! The walk is approx 1.7km long on a path suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.
We want to see you in your Halloween costumes but remember it is an outdoor event so warm clothing is recommended.
