Join us for an after-dark walk through an ancient woodland to discover the stories, myths and legends these precious veteran trees hold.

Mourne Park's oldest trees have stood for hundreds of years. What better place to spend the evening before Halloween?

Don't forget

This event is suitable for people aged 15 and over. Under 18s must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.

Be aware that there may be actors in the woods. This event is therefore not suited to people who don't enjoy jump scares.

Please check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for a walk in the woods. As it will be dark, torches will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.

Toilets will be available at the car park.
