Central to the annual Halloween Fest, which will run from October 26 to November 3, is the beautiful 16th Century ‘Haunted’ Westport House.  With a range of free activities and workshops, including the popular Storytime with the White Witch, colouring competitions, Halloween characters, Jack O’ Lantern Carving and fireworks, families are sure to have a ‘scream’ of a time. Not only that but kids will get shivers down their backs at the Pirate Adventure Park as they plunge on the Cannonball Run slide, dangle on the Pirates Swinging Ship and thrust into the Pirate Plunge log flume ride.  Even walking around the historic Westport House is an eerie experience.

The Haunted House will be open from 11am to 5pm daily, with rides and attractions open from 1pm to 5pm daily.  The regular pirate pass pricing applies, which means that visitors can avail of discounted hotel prices and online pricing.
