On this special walking tour as part of the Leap Scarecrow Festival we explore the real story behind Samhain and Halloween. Our tour finishes with hot chocolate and báirín breac at CECAS Myross Wood House

Discover the chilling magic of Samhain on our A Scare at Samhain tour, led by your very own Seán na Gealaí guide. Far removed from the commercialised veneer of Halloween, this fun and immersive experience dives deep into the authentic roots and local lore of Samhain. We unearth the tales and traditions surrounding enigmatic creatures like the bean sí, the cailleach and the púca, all set against the backdrop of West Cork's hauntingly beautiful landscape.

Journey with us into the depths of Ireland's ancient traditions, learning how the flickering embers of Samhain bonfires and the mysterious omens in the autumn wind have shaped our culture for centuries. We delve into local legends and whispering folklore to offer you a tour that is not just haunting but also rich in dúchas—our ancestral connection to place, nature, and community. 

This is an area of Ireland where the ancient Mascallacht tradition still survives, a custom that predates the modern 'Trick or Treat' by thousands of years. Experience the real story of Samhain through the eyes of the locals and find yourself forever connected to this mysterious and magical time of year. Book now for an unforgettable afternoon that will enlighten, enchant, and perhaps even send the odd shiver down your spine.
