Reawakening Ériu at Samhain

Ireland - The Home of Halloween

Westmeath and Longford have joined forces to build a distinctive new cultural offering this Samhain for Ireland's Hidden Heartlands.

Three flagship festivals form the heart of the 2025 programme: the Dead of Night Festival throughout County Longford, Féile na Samhna at Corlea Trackway, and Samhain on Uisneach. Each is unique in style, but together they weave a story of fire, folklore, and community that is deeply rooted in place.

Pictured above is Déirdre Orme, leading the charge as Ériu at the spectacular Fire and Shadows Procession on Halloween night.

Samhain in the Heartlands continues at Uisneach on November 8th and 9th. For more details check out www.uisneach.ie.
