This Cork castle is hosting a spooktacular free Halloween Haunted Walk on Monday

By Yay Cork October 24, 2026October 23, 2026

They don’t call it Malloween for nothin’.

Mallow Castle is set to get properly spooky with a family-friendly haunted walk featuring live actors, creepy pumpkins and menacing witches.

The Mallow Castle Haunted Walk takes place on bank holiday Monday, October 26th, with a Halloween-themed experience featuring live actors, creepy pumpkins, witches, demons, skeletons and even some freaky music.

The event runs from 4pm to 7pm, with last entry strictly at 7pm, so visitors will have plenty of time to get into the Halloween spirit.

Organised by Cork County Council in association with Mallow Arts Collective, CDYS, Avondhu Blackwater, Mallow Men’s Shed and Mallow Chamber of Commerce, it promises a spooky evening for families looking for something a little different this Halloween.

An autism-friendly hour

There’s also a dedicated autism-friendly hour running from 4pm to 5pm, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy the event during a designated time slot.

With its mix of spooky characters, Halloween decorations and eerie atmosphere, the haunted walk is shaping up to be a seasonal event for families in Mallow and the surrounding areas.

If you’re looking for a Halloween activity in Cork this October bank holiday weekend, the Mallow Castle Haunted Walk could be just the ticket for a spooky family outing.
