Beyond the walls of the festival’s main venues, Samhain Festival 26 spills out across Carlow, bringing live music, traditional sessions, folklore, film and family fun to venues throughout the county.
The Carlow Beo! programme keeps the music flowing, with free gigs, talks and sessions at Teach Dolmain, The Irishmans Bar Carlow, Lamberts Coffee House, Tullys Bar Carlow and Scraggs Alley Carlow. From the opening session at Teach Dolmain to the final session at Tully’s Bar, expect a lively celebration of Carlow’s traditional music scene, with local musicians and performers coming together throughout the festival.
For a different kind of Samhain story, head to Askea Community Centre for Béaloideas Oíche Shamhna / Halloween: Customs, Traditions and Games presented by historian and speaker Sarah Myers, bringing the traditions and tales of Halloween to life.
Over at Carlow Town Hall, settle in for a Movie Night in partnership with the Carlow Local Community Safety Partnership and funded by Healthy Carlow. Designed as a safe and welcoming Halloween experience for families, the evenings will feature spooky movies, Halloween decorations and seasonal treats. Costumes are encouraged, but spaces are limited, so advance booking is essential.
Then, over Halloween weekend, head into the countryside for the Big Barn Bash at Coppenagh House Farm – a family farm experience celebrating Carlow’s winter harvest, with the high-speed thrill of the Coo Race and cosy coffee in the wood-heated barn.
From traditional tunes and tales to spooky cinema and farmyard fun, Samhain Festival 26 at Fringe Venues brings the Samhain spirit into the heart of the community.
