Immerse yourself in an authentic Halloween experience this October as Samhain Family Festival invites young and old to “awaken their inner Seanchaí” through our brand-new podcast.
Magical and mystical creatures such as The Puca, The Morrigan, The Caoránach and The Dearg Due all come alive for new generations as author Dave Rudden creates a whole host of stories which are sure to enthral and entertain.
As entertainers from around Ireland come together to read these stories, we are joined by Jerry Fish, Mary Murry, PJ Gallagher, Tara Flynn, Emmet Kirwan, Katherine Lynch, Peter Murphy and more who will read old tales of Irish folklore adapted for young ears.
Filmed fireside on location in Bunratty we are also extremely happy to have legendary Seanchaí Eddie Lenihan as his stories of the Other Folk seek to delight and thrill as he gifts us with rare insight into the magical ways of the fairy folk.
Samhain Family Festival in association with the Arts Council of Ireland, celebrates the power of storytelling, inspiring the next generation of seanchaí by reimagining the traditional storytelling experience in ambitious and imaginative ways that engage young and curious audiences
