For resident and visiting vampires alike, everyone with a taste for the gothic side of life is welcome at Dublin’s annual celebration of the macabre. Promising four days and nights of deadly adventures over the October Bank Holiday, the Bram Stoker Festival revels in the legacy of the Clontarf man, who wrote what is perhaps the most successful gothic novel of all time, Dracula.
There’s plenty to get your heart racing this year, with séances, dress-up film screenings, daring theatre, pop-up Victorian funfairs, special foodie tours and more.
• While you’re in the area:
Home to some of Ireland’s most iconic landmarks, attractions and pubs, there’s no shortage of things to do and see when visiting Dublin, from the historic Kilmainham Gaol to the groundbreaking EPIC Irish Emigration Museum.
While there’s plenty of stunning city hotels to choose from, also consider looking at the guesthouses and B&Bs located just outside the city centre. Some of the hidden gems listed on Discover Ireland’s website include St. Anne’s in Glenageary, Adare House in Ballsbridge and Redbank House in Skerries.
