The Pumpkin Patch at The Farm in Grenagh
The Farm in Grenagh is a great place to bring the family all year round but at Halloween it is a very special to be.

Booking is essential.

Nothing screams Halloween more than a scary movie. The Cork City Gaol is hosting a scary movie inside the supposedly haunted jail for Halloween. Take a look at Scenic Cinema for more details on the spooky movies being shown.
