This October, Malahide Castle & Gardens transforms into Ireland’s most enchanting Halloween destination. The Haunted Trail invites families to embark on a spooky-but-not-scary adventure filled with interactive fun, dazzling decorations, and unforgettable photo opportunities.
Perfect for younger children yet enjoyable for all ages, this accessible 1-kilometre outdoor trail promises magical moments surrounded by twinkling lights, eerie sounds, and the historic beauty of Malahide Castle. Guests are encouraged to arrive in their own Halloween costumes, ready for action and adventure.
What Awaits on The Haunted Trail?
Along the route, discover bewitching scenes and interactive encounters:
🕸️ Spider’s Web – Spot the family of spiders weaving their giant web among the trees.
🧙 The Witches’ Kitchen – Peek inside as she stirs her bubbling cauldron of potions.
⚰️ The Haunted Graveyard – Walk carefully through the fog and feel the chilling atmosphere.
👻 Ghost Alley – Watch goofy spirits dance in the breeze and meet Puck, Malahide’s resident ghost.
🦇 The Vampires’ Lair – Flickering candlelight and fluttering bats set the scene for spooky fun.
🎃 Pumpkin Patch – Visit the scarecrow and see if you can bring him to life.
🍵 The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party – Step into his eccentric world and enjoy his playful nonsense.
A Spooktacular Day Out for All
Created by Follow Fox Events, The Haunted Trail is designed with families in mind – spooky enough to delight children but gentle enough to avoid frights. With its accessible design and outdoor setting, it’s a Halloween celebration that everyone can enjoy.
Whether you’re seeking family-friendly Halloween events in Dublin, an outdoor adventure near Dublin city, or simply a chance to soak in the magical atmosphere of Malahide Castle, The Haunted Trail is the perfect autumn day out.
