Halloween fun at Carrick's Shaftesbury Park

Carrick’s Shaftesbury Park will be transformed into an illuminated Halloween trail on Monday, October 31

Mid and East Antrim Council is serving up a fun-filled, hair-raising experience for visitors aged 4-12 years. Taking place from 5pm to 9pm, each session will last around 40minutes.

There will also be a session available for children with additional sensory needs and their carers to enjoy the event in a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere with fewer crowds and noise levels kept to a minimum.

The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Noel Williams, said: “We are delighted to announce this fang-tastic family event in Carrickfergus this Halloween. The unique, immersive trail offers something for all your little ones to enjoy!”
