An Tairseach:  Samhain ar Uisneach 

7th & 8th November 2026

An Tairseach meaning "The Threshold", reflects the spirit of community, connection and shared remembrance that lies at the heart of this ancient festival. 

Join us for two days of live music, exhibitions, storytelling, performers, games, and ancient traditions culminating in a spectacular torchlit procession and the lighting of the sacred Samhain Fire at the centre of Ireland.

Come celebrate the turning of the year, when we embrace the darkness that awaits at Ireland's most ancient and meaningful sight.
