Samhain at MoLI

Samhain at MoLI is a week of haunted daily literary tours at MoLI – Museum of Literature Ireland in Dublin, running from Saturday 24 to Saturday 31 October 2026. The tours take place each day from 14:00 to 15:00 and explore the darker side of the museum's house on St Stephen's Green. Visitors encounter Burn-Chapel Whaley and the Hellfire Club, whose history is tied to the building, and see the death masks of Patrick Kavanagh and Brendan Behan. The tour also traces the Irish roots of Dracula and looks at the changelings, fairy hills and ghost stories that run through Irish writing. Tickets cost €18 and include all-day museum admission. Children aged 12 and under go free when accompanied by a paying adult, up to two children per paying adult. MoLI Members receive 50% off regular museum tours. Places are strictly limited.
