🔥🌑⚰️SPIRITS OF SAMHAIN🐦‍⬛☠️🔥

Sunday November 1st, 4.30 - 5.30pm

Dare to join our guide Mary on a journey into Ireland of the past, where strange creatures emerged from the darkness, wondering the land, some foretelling death, spirits or the ancients, the Sidhe of the Otherworld, from beneath the ground
watching and waiting.......as the worlds became one.

Who are they? What is their story?

Some sad, some vengefull, some so terrifying it will send shivers through you

In Ireland of the past, the story of Stingy Jack, Jack O' Lantern was known by all.

Long before pumpkins were discovered by our people who left these shores, the humble turnip was used.It was a hard job to carve and scoop out tunip flesh.

But our guide Noel shows us an easier way to make our traditional Jack O Lantern turnip.
Of course ask an adult to help you woth the scooping and carving of your design.

Turnips make the scariest of all lanterns don't ypu think?

🔥🔥Have fun making yours!!🔥🔥
