Do you fear “things that go bump in the night”?
If so, DO NOT book a place on the Hallowe’en tours of Armagh. This Walking Trail of approx. 1 hour will be a mix of gruesome tales of days gone by coupled with a few surprises along the way. Cover your ears if you don’t want to listen to stories of the grisly, fearsome characters or mysterious happenings of the past. Tread the narrow streets lightly – you don’t know who is waiting to get you!!
The tour concludes at Red Ned’s with a hot whisky/hot port or a drink of your choice or if under 18 a voucher will be provided for an ice-cream treat or speciality coffee at Mackles Ice Cream, Dobbin Lane.

To get the most from this option, you can bring your own headphones which can be connected into the system. These must have a round jack connection to be compatible with the equipment. If required on the day, reusable, sanitised ear pieces which slot over your ear can be obtained from your tour guide free of charge. Additionally, individually packaged, one use headphones are available from your tour guide at a cost of £1 per piece.
