Vintage Tea Trips Halloween x Glasnevin Dead Interesting Tour is a three-hour Halloween outing in Dublin, running from 17 October to 1 November 2026. It starts with a Vintage Tea Trips bus tour from St. Stephen's Green between 13:00 and 14:30. An on-board guide tells how Halloween, or Samhain, began in Ireland.

Guests have afternoon tea of homemade sandwiches, warm scones and desserts, and try barmbrack, with one guest finding the lucky ring. Guests are then dropped at Glasnevin Cemetery at about 14:30 for the Dead Interesting Tour, which runs until 16:00 with an expert guide. Glasnevin was established in 1832 and is Ireland's largest cemetery, with 1.5 million people buried there.

The tour visits the resting place of writer Brendan Behan and of poet and novelist Rosa Mulholland, and covers the first burial, Michael Carey in February 1832. It finishes at The Gravediggers pub. The price includes tea, coffee, hot chocolate, juices, water and a souvenir reusable branded cup.

A pint in The Gravediggers is not included. Guests must make their own way home from Glasnevin.
