Searching for a spellbinding family midterm getaway just 35 minutes from Dublin? The Johnstown Estate has you covered with its Two-Night Halloween Family Staycation, €695 for two adults and two children under 12.
Guests can choose to stay in a spacious family room, complete with a king-size bed and two twin beds, or can opt for one of the estate’s elegant two-bedroom self-catering lodges. Each lodge is fully equipped with a kitchen, dining area and separate living space, offering families all the comfort and convenience of home with an extra layer of luxury.
The Two-Night Halloween Family Staycation package also includes a full Irish breakfast each morning along with a devilishly delicious two-course dinner on one evening in The Coach House Brasserie for all the family.
For younger guests, Halloween at The Johnstown Estate promises truly magical memories. Set on 120 acres of mystical parkland, young explorers can embark on eerie adventures, with the estate’s fairy trail transformed into a whimsical Halloween wonderland complete with its own treasure hunt.
The package also includes access to The Johnstown Estate’s Halloween Kids’ Club on one day of your stay. Here, kids aged 5 to twelve can enjoy lots of spooky storytelling, creepy crafts and baking terrifyingly tasty treats. The whole family can enjoy full access to the leisure centre, including a 20-metre swimming pool and kids’ pool.
According to legend, Samhain, the ancient Celtic Festival that we now call Halloween, originated in Co Meath in the Boyne Valley, making it the perfect county in which to celebrate the spooky season. The four-star hotel and spa provides a convenient base for exploring the region’s many heritage sites, from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange and Knowth) to Trim Castle, Ireland’s largest Anglo-Norman fortress. It’s also just a short drive from family-friendly attractions like Emerald Park, Dublin Zoo, The Chocolate Warehouse and The National Aquatic Centre, along with Kildare Village and all the vibrant cultural and entertainment offerings that Dublin city centre has to offer.
