Howl-O-Ween Family Festival Galway
Halloween 2016 Dates: SATURDAY 29 October to SUNDAY 6 November, 12-6 pm Daily
SUNDAY 30TH: Ride for Emil, Charity Ride, 1pm
MONDAY 31ST: Kids Disco Fancy Dress Party and Trick-or-Treat, 5-8pm
It’s a spooky time at Slieve Aughty during the Halloween Festival, with ghosts and goblins galore, haunted houses, Halloween tricks and treats, scary stories, costumes and face painting, horses and ponies to pet and ride, arts and crafts and the Howl-o-Ween Charity Ride.
A family event, enjoy the fresh air of autumn with a walk or pony ride* to Bloody Mary’s haunted house and dare yourself to see her in the mirror of her ruin (read the full story before you go or along the way!).
For the little one’s go on a witch’s walk (a short walk to Slieve Aughty’s enchanted wood). Along the way, count how many ghosts, witches and other Halloween creatures you see hiding in the forest and answer the Halloween riddles that help guide the way. Back at the centre, pet the animals, get a scary face paint, dress up in a silly costume, and make some Halloween arts and crafts.
All walks can be taken on foot or let our staff take the kids on ponies* while you walk beside or relax with a tea, coffee, or organic glass of witch’s brew at The Three Towers Eco House and Organic Kitchen. Pumpkin treats and the centre’s famous pancakes are just a couple of the tasty treats on offer.
