Halloween & its Creepy Irish Origins
Date: Sat 31 Oct
Location: Tree of Gold, Central Plaza (meeting point), Dublin

Where Irish literature meets its darkest legends.
As the veil thins at Samhain, join us on a journey through the hidden folklore, horrors and spirits of our house on St Stephen's Green. Daily from Saturday 24 to Monday 2 November, 2pm–3pm, and from Saturday 31 - 1 November, 1pm–2pm and 2pm–3pm. This is your chance to explore MoLI's darker side this Samhain.
You'll encounter Burn-Chapel Whaley and the Hellfire Club, whose wild history is tied to this very building, and come face-to-face with the death masks of Patrick Kavanagh and Brendan Behan. Along the way, we'll trace the Irish roots of Dracula and explore the changelings, fairy hills and ghost stories that run through Irish writing. And if you feel a chill on the landing, well, we did warn you.
Tickets are €18. MoLI Members receive 50% off regular museum tours. Children aged 12 and under go free when accompanied by a paying adult. Places are strictly limited, so book now!
