Cobh in Cork is a great destination for families this October and Halloween with great attractions and fantastic value for money offers.
Cuskinny Court near Cobh is being transformed into Lord Ghoulsley’s Manor http://www.ghoulsleysmanor.com from 17th October for Halloween (and then into the North Pole Outpost for Christmas!). Lord Ghoulsley and his mischievous and ghastly groupies invite you to experience a haunted tour of the house in this immersive & interactive experience for families (designed for kids between 4 and 14).
- Meet Lord Ghoulsley and listen to some of his terrible tales
- Visit Vladimir the Vegetarian Vampire and hear his woes of being a vegetarian in a world of bloodsucking vampires
- Wander into Wanda The Witch’s parlour, cast some silly spells and mix some petrifying potions
- Descend into the underground cellars of the manor and visit Dr. Frankenfarter and help him sort out some behavioural issues he is having with his monster
- Be on the look out for other ghoulish ghosts lurking in the dim candle lit corners of the Ghoulsley Dungeons
This experience lasts 50 minutes to 1 hour approximately, is suitable for families and ideal for children from 4 to 14 years. Lord Ghoulsley’s Manor is mainly an indoor experience with a small outdoor element so we would advise dressing for the season! Halloween costumes are of course encouraged.
