Hi everyone,

Due to the forecast this evening and illness among the organisers we have had to cancel the Bantry House Haunted Walk this evening. We will still be going ahead with the Trick or Treat Trail through town businesses from 5-6pm and the "Procession of The Dead" Kids Parade. We will just be parading them directly to the Maritime Hotel!

Meeting at The Anchor on the Square for a 6pm start, we'll do a parade up New St and High St, down William St and along the Square to the hotel where DJ Gibbs will have them dancing and playing the night away.

With a special performance from Emily's Melodies at 7pm, face painter and games, it should still be a great night for the kids.

Oddity was filmed in Bantry House! Scene of our Haunted Walk!

Neil Jordan had Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in his cast in 1994, but it's the recent crop of indie horrors that has marked Ireland as a real force in the genre
