Whispers from the Ruins: Uncover the Dark Myths of Sligo Abbey this Halloween!

Prepare for a chilling journey into the heart of Irish shadow-lore. This October, the ancient, hallowed stones of Sligo Abbey will become the stage for an unforgettable day of tales, terrors, and traditions.

We are thrilled to invite you to "AN EVENING OF ANCIENT MYTHS, FOLKLORE & GHOST STORIES FROM IRISH TRADITION."

Let the past come alive as our storyteller transport you to a world where the veil between this life and the next grows thin. Gather in the atmospheric, grounds of the Abbey, illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern.

Hear the forgotten legends of the Bean Sídhe (Banshee), the spectral hunts of the Dullahan, and the mischievous, malevolent spirits that haunt the wild Irish landscape. From epic myths of the Tuatha Dé Danann to localised ghost stories from the surrounding lands, this is an immersive dive into the rich, dark heritage of Ireland.
