Tricks and treats at Lismore Heritage Centre’s Halloween Camp

Did you know that Dracula wears dentures? That you can lift a cup with a balloon? And turn a lollipop into a spider? We’ll have these tricks and treats and much, much more at Lismore Heritage Centre’s Halloween Camp this mid-term break. There will be floating ghost busters, horsemen looking for their heads and costume drama amid more art, crafts and hair raising games.


Halloween Camp will be on from Tuesday 30th October until Friday 2nd November, from 10am to 2pm each day. Campers need to bring a healthy packed lunch and a drink. Old clothes are best as there will be lots of gross and gruesome goings-on!



Campers must be booked in as places are limited; for bookings and enquiries please call Arlene on 058-54975, email Akenny@lismoreheritage.ie or find Lismore Heritage Centre on Facebook.
