DLR Samhain 2026

Samhain returns to Marlay Park on 24 & 25 October, celebrating 20 years of spooky family fun. Rooted in the ancient Gaelic festival that marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, Samhain brings Ireland’s traditions of folklore, spirits and the supernatural to life.

Step into the haunted forest for an unforgettable Halloween experience filled with eerie encounters, atmospheric trails and plenty of surprises along the way. Gather the family, embrace the darker half of the year and experience the magic and mystery of Samhain for yourself.

**The first slot of each evening is a dedicated sensory session. 4.30pm Saturday October 24th and 3.30pm Sunday October 25th.
