Join us in 2020 as well for our Celtic Halloween, on 31 October! This year we are organising separate events for children (from 13:00 to 16:00) and adults (from 17:00 until 22:00)!

The Celtic ancestor of Halloween, Samhain was the last day of the Celtic calendar. The word means the end of summer. The Celts believed that on 31 October the boundary between this world and the otherworld became narrow, opening up and allowing the dead and supernatural creatures to cross over to this world.

Join us on 31 October, from 13:00 to 22:00 for our all-out Celtic Halloween!

Most of the events will take place outdoors. To ensure that distancing guidelines can be followed, we’re organising separate events for children – from 13:00 to 16:00 with arts and crafts, scavenger hunt, and fearsome Celtic warriors. Once the sun sets and the fires are lit, it’s time for the adults (17:00-22:00)!
