samhain | halloween

Long before fireworks and trick-or-treating, the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain marked the turning of the seasons in Ireland. This ancient celebration, later followed by traditions practised on All Hallows' Eve, is believed to have inspired many of the customs we now associate with Halloween.

In times past, it was believed that during All Hallows' Eve the veil between worlds grew thin, allowing spirits, fairies, and other supernatural beings to slip into our realm. Masks were crafted and worn to ward off these malevolent forces. 

Please note that our Halloween 2025 event has now ended.
