About
Join us for an evening of tunes, dances, folklore and a little spooky fun at our Samhain Céilí.
At this time of year, the veil between our world and the Other is at its thinnest.
In early Ireland, Samhain marked a turning point in the agricultural year, dividing the light half from the dark. Medieval Irish tales often set their feasts, gatherings and encounters with supernatural beings at Samhain, when journeys into the Otherworld were said to be most likely. The name Samhain (pronounced SOW‑in) is also widely celebrated today by pagans as the Witches’ New Year.
Bring the kids — and the big kids — in their best dress‑up. We’ll have tricks, treats, and a night full of fantastic Irish music, céilí dancing, waltzing, singing and more.
Book a table for dinner, with entertainment beginning at 6pm.
Come celebrate the turning of the year the Irish way.
This event is kindly supported by the Government of Ireland ☘️
