About

Adults – only  Halloween Night Tour

Tour Guide: Experience & Explore NI, Nicky Jones

Tour departs on foot in front of Grace Neill’s bar and restaurant, Donaghadee

Join Nicky on a spooky Halloween jaunt around Donaghadee. Hear some ghoulish tales as you wander through the haunted streets of the old harbour town. Settle your nerves post tour with a Copeland Gin cocktail, or a soft drink alternative, when you return to Grace Neill's, famed as Ireland's oldest pub, with its own spooky stories to tell! But be warned: Grace Neill’s is known for spirits of more than one kind — and not all of them remain behind the bar…

Make a night of it and enjoy the fantastic choice of bars and restaurants in Donaghadee.
