Experience Description
Inspired by the heritage of Dublin-born Gothic author Bram Stoker and his
notorious novel Dracula, Dublin city will get gloriously gothic this October
bank holiday weekend!
The Bram Stoker Festival playfully celebrates the gothic, the mysterious, the
after-dark and the thrill of late October as Ireland approaches Halloween and
Samhain. The packed programme of events mixes family-friendly adventures
with late-night antics for mates, dates and everything in between.
Incorporating a range of events from large-scale spectacles to intimate
performances in unusual spaces, along with a whole range of film and literary
events, the festival always manages to whet just about everyone’s appetite.
Join in this October as the festival infiltrates the very crevices of the city,
awakening the dormant gothic that sleeps in the heart of Dublin.With
previous years seeing tens of thousands of visitors from near and far descend
upon the city for a weekend of wickedly good fun, don’t forget to don your
cape and fangs.
A devilish mixture of family fun, adventurous arts, major installations,
literature, drama and the unexpected, this spooktacular festival has plenty
to suit thrill seekers of all ages.
