Westport House will be hosting it’s annual Halloween Fest on the 28th October – 31st October inclusive.

You are more than welcome to bring your own pumpkin to avoid this charge), take a visit down to our dark dungeons where the Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley used to lock up her prisoners, decorate some ghoulish goblin cupcakes during our Spooky Spoons workshop and learn how to dance like a zombie at our apocalyptic kiddie’s disco!
The Pirate Adventure Park is OPEN for all of the October midterm, 28th October – November 5th inclusive. Fun for all the family, the Pirate Adventure Park is an adventure not to be missed! Take a ride on the thrilling Pirate Swinging Ship, slide down the Cannonball Run Slide or put your rain gear on and give the Pirate’s Plunge ride a go!
The Great Western Greenway
Did you know that the Greenway goes straight through Westport House estate? If you are looking for a fun, outdoors activity during the midterm, why not rent a few bikes and cycle the gorgeous 42km Great Western Greenway! We promise, you won’t regret it!
Of course, you cannot visit Westport House without actually having a look around inside! Dating back to 1650, the house is steeped in history. A must when visiting the house is a trip down into our scary dungeons, where the famous Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley would lock up her prisoners! There is also an area with ‘funny mirrors’ and a tea room which serves delicious tea, coffee and yummy treats!
So there you have it, your midterm break with the kids is officially sorted!
