OPTIONAL  T-shirt printing (additional cost). AFTER choosing your tickets you will have a chance to prebook this activity too (Costs are £6 for children t-shirts and £8 for adult t-shirt, sizes available as indicating on the prebooking page – please drop us an email if you need other specific sizes).

Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or “darker half” of the year.
The event begins with creating a 3D sugar skull to protect you on the journey ahead.
Gather at the allotted hour to meet with the Great Memorgiser, receive important information for your guided walk to the Cemetery and learn how to “Memorgise.” (You won’t find Memorgise/Memorgising in any dictionary. It is an UN-WORD and the act of Memorgising must be learned from a great Memorgiser).
Once on the journey you will use your new skills and information to gain tokens from the 3 witches which will keep the group safe on their journey and will be important whilst in the cemetery and will keep the group safe on their journey. If your group has listened hard and learned well,
Memorgising may actually happen in front of your very eyes.
