Samhain is quickly approaching! The days are getting shorter and the wind is getting wilder! This year we have a full schedule of events happening at Lough Gur to celebrate Limerick as the Home of Halloween.
On Thursday October 29th we have a Samhain Scavenger Hunt. It will be running across the day. Participants will use their map to find various questions hidden through out the park. Each correct answer will allow children to unscramble a word, which they will then use to claim their prize in our visitor centre! Tickets can be purchased exclusively on http://loughgur.com (use the book now button on our homepage)
Tickets cost €7 and booking ahead of time is highly recommended as we cannot guarantee places will be available on the day.
