About

As we welcome in the darkness of winter and say farewell to the lighter half of the year, watch traditional turnip carving demonstrations, get hands-on at our Hallowe'en craft stations and listen to tales of Jack O Lantern in the RIC Barracks. Look out for the Armagh Rhymers, dressed in their traditional masks and costumes and watch eerie NI Screen Archives in the Picture House. Meet roving characters like the Old Hag and encounter their uncanny tales...you might even discover what the future holds for you in a cabbage reading!
There'll be a Hallowe'en trail for any little ones to follow and exhibit buildings to explore, dressed to welcome the spirits of Samhain. We'll have warm colcannon in Tea Lane and barmbrack in Bank House, with preserves and cordials to taste in Drumnahunshin.

Help us solve a murder mystery as you meet suspicious characters across the weekend. Guess who the guilty party is before the killer is revealed on Hallowe'en day on the 31st on our Ulster Folk Museum socials!

• Saturday 28th October – 11:00 to 16:00
