Fire & Folklore: A Samhain Journey at Ardgillan Castle

Step into the great hall & enter another world of flickering firelight and otherworldliness where nothing is as it seems, and mischief is at play. Around each dark corner who knows what lurks… Guided by a costumed host this is an interactive castle tour like none other, a journey around Samhain customs & traditions. At each stop storytellers weave their spell with mystic words blending history & myth. The tragic tale of the ghostly Lady of the Stairs, dating back hundreds of years is rooted in Ardgillan Castle.

At this most magical time of year when the veil between the worlds thins to transparency, the lady might appear, dressed in white & staring out to sea. Everyone is encouraged to come in costume – cloaks, shawls and autumn tones.
