Saturday 31st October 2026 7:30PM
Part of Experience Ards and North Down 2025
Adults Halloween tour
Join Nicky Jones, of Experience & Explore NI, 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…
Things to note
Tickets close 6.30pm on 31 October.
