Halloween at Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens

The very popular ‘Spirits of the Kwaidan Forest’ will once more take place in the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens Tramore, Co. Waterford from the 17th – 31st October 2025.

This very unique Halloween experience is perfect for ‘little monsters’ or younger children who would prefer a daytime experience.  There is no doubt this year’s garden will be one  ‘The Adam’s Family’ would just love to have,  filled with ghosts, ghouls, witches, skeletons, spiders and eerie sounds it is a very spooky woodland walk at anytime of the day.

This year there is a special Japanese Spirit Path dedicated to Lafcadio Hearn’s book of ghostly tales, Kwaidan. As always a sustainable cobweb installation will form an artistic element and allow for great photo ops. This event is included in normal garden entry (Adults €7 Children €3 U-2 Free).
