Think Lapland is just for Christmas? Think again. ❄️

The magic of Lapland doesn't disappear when Santa heads home.

In fact, February and March can be a wonderful time to experience the Arctic — with snowy landscapes, longer days and plenty of opportunities for adventure.

This is the Lapland of Aurora chasing, husky sledding, snow-covered forests and unforgettable Arctic experiences, without everything having to revolve around Christmas.

You might spend your days exploring the wilderness by husky, head out after dark in search of the Northern Lights, or simply enjoy the extraordinary silence of the Arctic landscape.

And for those looking for something truly memorable, why not spend a night at the ICEHOTEL?

We can tailor your journey around the experiences that appeal to you, choosing from beautiful Arctic properties and creating something that feels entirely your own.

And there's another advantage to travelling beyond the festive season: February and March can offer particularly good value compared with Christmas and New Year.

So if you've always dreamed of Lapland but don't necessarily need Santa involved, don't overlook the rest of the season.

Your Lapland story doesn't have to end with Christmas.

🐉 Before Game of Thrones, there was Leap Castle…

Could one of Ireland’s darkest castles have a story worthy of Westeros?

In County Offaly stands Leap Castle, a fortress with a bloody history of family rivalry, betrayal and murder.

Its most infamous tale centres on the Bloody Chapel, where a priest is said to have been murdered by his own brother during Mass. The castle is also associated with disturbing discoveries beneath its walls, including human remains found in an underground oubliette.

Sound familiar, Game of Thrones fans?

The brutal family betrayals and murderous power struggles associated with Leap Castle certainly have echoes of the infamous Red Wedding. It's easy to see why people draw comparisons between the dark history of Ireland's castles and the world of Westeros.

In this clip, Siobhan Byrne shares why Leap Castle is one of those places that leaves visitors with an unmistakable sense of unease.

At Adams & Butler, we love uncovering the extraordinary stories behind Ireland's historic places. From ancient castles and family rivalries to ghost stories and centuries-old legends, there's so much more to discover than meets the eye.

And for those who enjoy their history with a darker twist, Leap Castle is certainly one to add to the itinerary.

Would you dare to visit?👀

👻 When the owner of the house has a few ghost stories to tell…

Screebe House, tucked away in the beautiful landscape of Connemara, is the sort of place where the stories stay with you long after you've left.

During a conversation with the owner, Siobhan heard tales that have been passed down through the local community for generations.

One tells of mysterious horse-drawn carriages said to travel through the gates at night, witnessed by several people over the years.

Another centres on Lady Dudley, who reportedly insisted that trees be planted so she wouldn't have to look across the bay at the Catholic church.

Years later, when parish priests suggested cutting the trees down to restore the magnificent views, local people had a warning for them: Lady Dudley would haunt them forever if they did.

And those trees? They still stand. 👀

Whether you believe in ghosts or simply love the stories that give a place its character, this is the kind of history that makes exploring Ireland so fascinating.

At Adams & Butler, we love discovering the stories behind extraordinary places and helping our clients experience a side of Ireland they might otherwise miss.

Because sometimes, the most memorable part of a stay isn't just the house itself. It's what you hear while you're there.

Would you spend a night at Screebe House after hearing these stories? 👻

🎃 Halloween began in Ireland. And we know how to celebrate it.

Long before Halloween became a global celebration of costumes, pumpkins and trick-or-treating, Ireland marked Samhain — the ancient festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter.

Today, that heritage lives on in festivals that bring Irish mythology, folklore, music and a little supernatural mischief to life.

In this video, Siobhan Byrne shares three festivals worth knowing about:

👻 LegenDerry Halloween — the legendary celebrations in the Walled City, where ancient folklore meets spectacular street performances, a carnival parade and fireworks.

🔥 Púca Festival, in the Boyne Valley, where Samhain traditions meet storytelling, music and immersive experiences.

🦇 The Bram Stoker Festival in Dublin, celebrating the Irish author behind Dracula with a gloriously gothic programme of events.

But why stop at the festivals?

Ireland is full of atmospheric castles, historic houses and extraordinary places with centuries of stories behind their walls. Some are wrapped in local legends; others have histories every bit as fascinating as the ghost stories.

At Adams & Butler, we love helping travellers discover this side of Ireland — whether that means planning a trip around Halloween celebrations, exploring the country's folklore, or arranging a memorable stay in a historic property.

And you don't have to visit in October. The stories are here all year.

Would you plan a trip around Ireland's haunted history? 👻

Let us help you create a journey with a story of its own.

🎃 From one little pub party to one of Europe’s biggest Halloween celebrations…

Have you ever wondered how Derry became one of the world’s great Halloween destinations?

In this clip from a webinar hosted by Siobhan Byrne, we hear from Winifred, the wonderfully spirited “Queen of Halloween”, who shares the story behind her favourite Halloween destination: Derry Halloween. 👑👻

What began with a fancy-dress gathering at a Derry pub in 1985 grew into a spectacular celebration of Samhain, folklore, costumes and community spirit.

Today, the historic Walled City comes alive with extraordinary performances, a carnival parade, fireworks and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

And there’s something particularly special about celebrating Halloween here. Ireland is the home of the ancient Samhain tradition, and in Derry, that heritage is woven into the experience.

At Adams & Butler, we love helping travellers discover the stories, places and traditions that make Ireland so distinctive. Whether you’re dreaming of Halloween in Derry, exploring ancient folklore or staying somewhere with a few ghost stories of its own, we can help you create a journey to remember.

Because sometimes, the best holidays come with a little magic… and perhaps a ghost or two. 👻

Would Derry Halloween make your travel wish list?

🍂 Before Halloween, there was Samhain.

What does Samhain actually mean, and why has it been such an important part of Irish tradition?

In this clip, local Galway guide Pádraig takes us back to the roots of the season, explaining how Samhain marks the end of the harvest and the arrival of winter.

For generations, this turning point in the year shaped life in Ireland. The harvest was gathered, preparations were made for the colder months, and communities marked the changing season with traditions and stories that have endured to this day.

The word itself belongs to Ireland’s rich Gaelic heritage, with related traditions found across the Celtic world — including "Sauin" on the Isle of Man.

It’s a reminder that Halloween is more than costumes and spooky decorations. Its roots run deep into Ireland’s landscape, language and cultural history.

At Adams & Butler, we love helping travellers discover the stories behind the traditions — from ancient sites and historic castles to the folklore and festivals that make Ireland so distinctive.

This Halloween, why not discover the Ireland behind the stories? 🎃

“Fermanagh is one of my favourite counties in Ireland.”

When Siobhan talks about creating journeys through Northern Ireland, Fermanagh is one of the places she always comes back to.

It may not be the first place that comes to mind when planning a luxury Irish itinerary, and perhaps that's part of its appeal. There is something wonderfully understated about Fermanagh — a place of beautiful landscapes, quiet waters and a slower rhythm that feels worlds away from the energy of Belfast.

For Siobhan, it is exactly these less expected places that can make a journey so memorable.

Belfast might provide the music, creativity and character of the city. Derry brings its own extraordinary history and stories. And then, perhaps, the journey takes you west to Fermanagh — somewhere a little quieter, a little more unexpected, and very much worth discovering.

At Adams & Butler, our itineraries are shaped not only by the places we know, but by the places we genuinely love and return to ourselves.

And Fermanagh is one of Siobhan's.

A rare and privileged glimpse into Tanzania.

During his recent journey through Tanzania, Richard was honoured to be welcomed into a Maasai village—an extraordinary encounter with one of East Africa’s most enduring and iconic cultures.

From helping to construct a traditional mud hut to joining in the rhythms of ancestral song and dance, every moment offered a profound connection to a way of life shaped by tradition, community, and the timeless landscapes of the African savannah.

This is Tanzania beyond the expected: intimate, authentic, and deeply moving.

Planning a journey to Tanzania? We would be delighted to curate an experience that reveals its most extraordinary stories.
