Spooky Samhain adventures in Ireland - the home of Halloween
Manage episode 386336860 series 2889491
Did you know that Ireland is considered the home of Halloween? Discover the spookier side of the Emerald Isle and learn about mystical myths, folklore, fire and feasting, as nights draw in and darkness descends.
As part of our special Ireland destination series, we travel to Ireland to explore Halloween's Irish roots and learn more about Samhain - one of the four main festivals of the Gaelic calendar.
Let me and producer Luke take you on an immersive journey to County Meath, in Ireland's ancient east, to discover the origins of Halloween at the Púca festival, which takes place every year at the end of October.
Named after a shape-shifting character from Celtic folklore - the Púca (pronounced poo-kuh), this fun festival celebrates the ancient traditions of Samhain and welcomes the strange and mischievous creatures in some of Ireland's most historic places.
It's an invitation to enjoy music, myth, food, folklore, fire, feasting and merriment in the country where Halloween began.
So get ready for spooky stories, Halloween chills and Púca festivities.
