- Posted on: 13/10/2023 - $itemValue.title

Halloween is one of Castleknock Hotel's most exciting times of the year! While we'll have plenty going on inside the hotel over Spooky Season it's what happens nearby that excites us most! Here's a mix of terrifying trails, tremendous tricks and terrific treats for everyone to go and see this Halloween: 

A must-do this Halloween, Emerald Park plays host to both their 'After Dark' and 'Tricky Trail' events this year. Previously known as Tayto Park, Emerald Park in County Meath is a Halloween essential for children of all ages! Take on the infamous amusement rides, enjoy spooky storytelling and magical performances this Halloween at Emerald Park! For more information on Emerald Park, click here.

This Halloween we strongly urge you to attend Púca Festival hosted by the towns of Trim and Athboy in County Meath. With an abundance of different forms of contemporary entertainment from music to comedy, storytelling and theatrics this is a fantastic festival for all to enjoy. The festival takes place from October 27th - 31st 2023 celebrating the Irish tradition of Samhain. For more information on Púca Festival, click here.

Those daring enough could even be tempted by the terrifying experience that is Farmaphobia! Located at Causey Farm in Co. Meath, this incredibly spooky experience is suitable for children over the age of 13 but must be accompanied by an adult on site. For more information on Farmaphobia click here.

Causey Farm also hosts the fantastic Pooka Spooka for children aged 2-12, with a whole host of Halloween based activities for all to enjoy this Spooky Season! For more information on Pooka Spooka, click here.

Make this Halloween one to remember, go and pick your very own Pumpkin at various Pumpkin Patches around the country. Papa's Pumpkin Patch in Oldtown, Co Dublin offers a fantastic, fun family experience. With farm animals to pet, a Straw Maze to explore and many more Halloween activities, enjoy a fantastic Family Adventure. Alternatively for a more traditional Pumpkin Picking experience visit Guy's Farm in Boardsmill, Co Meath. 

Castleknock Hotel is located close to Phoenix Park, Dublin Zoo and Dublin City centre, meaning there is no shortage of alternative day trips within an easy drive of the hotel. So widen your horizons and explore Dublin and beyond from one location, Castleknock Hotel this Halloween.
