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. Children over the age of 5 can visit the Enchanted Forest aboard a quiet pony* – rides leave every hour on the hour and advanced booking is recommended! 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.

For children ages 5 and up, visit the Enchanted Forest or Bloody Mary’s haunted house on horseback or on foot! Their safe ponies are great with children and are around all day to be pet if you choose not to go for a ride.
