Pumpkins

1. Ollie’s Ghost Tour
Take a jaunt back in time with tour guide Ollie Gleeson, as he creates a fun Halloween themed walking tour for children through Parnell Street and it’s spooktacular bow-ways and lanes to hear all about the characters that walked the streets before us on Saturday 27th October. Parnell Street’s eery backdrop provides just enough scare ingredient and Ollie will do the rest! See Halloween Festival Ennis for more.
