Want to get into the Halloween spirit? Sandymount and Ranelagh will be hosting scarecrow and pumpkin competitions. In Donnybrook there will be music, dancing and lots of balloons!

Show your artistic side by putting together a terrifying scarecrow, carve a creepy pumpkin or just generally scare up the place – you even might win a prize!

The Bram Stoker Festival will be kicking off this Friday 23rd with events around the city. More info on this here.
