Looking for Halloween in Ireland
We’re a family from the Netherlands with young children. Halloween isn’t really celebrated where we live, but my oldest child (7 years) wants to celebrate Halloween. The USA would be a bit too far for us, and Ireland has always been on our travel list anyway, so we thought this would be the perfect excuse for a short family getaway.
At first, I found the Derry Festival, but hotels are already either almost fully booked or very expensive. We could sleep somewhere else, but I'm a little worried about getting around outside the city with young kids if taxis or public transport are limited. And with a car... parking might be a challenge I think and to be honest, we suck at driving on the left side.
We’re not looking for anything huge. Honestly, a bonfire, children dressed up in Halloween costumes, people who are handing out sweets would already be great. We're open to anywhere in Ireland or even another nearby European country.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a town, village, neighbourhood, or event that would be suitable for a family with young children?
Thanks in advance!
