Long before fireworks and trick-or-treating, there was Samhain - the ancient Celtic festival that originated in Ireland, where Halloween truly began. This October, experience Halloween for real at the Ulster Folk Museum.Discover the origins and traditions of Samhain, meet suspicious characters and encounter their uncanny tales. Create your own nature mythology mask with Anann's Arch using foraged natural materials and specialised fabrics. You can also help us solve a murder mystery!
Listen to Irish language storytelling (Scéalaíocht i nGaeilge) with Aodán ‘Jaff’ Mac Séafraidh. Get hands-on at our craft stations, hear spooky stories for the little ones, and look out for the Armagh Rhymers, dressed in traditional masks and costumes.

Thursday 30th October – 10:00 to 16:00
Friday 31st October – 10:00 to 16:00
