“IRELAND’S BIGGEST HALLOWEEN EVENT
Our tormented and twisted minds have been working overtime to ensure that Farmaphobia will return for Halloween 2022. With 5 Terrifying Haunts spread over 100 Acres of Fear, Ireland’s BIGGEST Halloween Event is not to be missed.”
We have visited this attraction for the past four years, and it absolutely never disappoints. Every year I say to myself I’ll know what’s coming, and every year I am pleased to say I am very very wrong! If you are looking for a real scare, as you run around a farm in the dark, screaming like a lunatic then this is for you 👻

This is an absolutely wonderful experience for the whole family, with traditional games and crafts, Scarecrow corn maze, Mirror Maze, Hayride, Limb Throwing, Broonstick Ride, Fortune Telling & Story Telling
So this is the cutest Halloween experience we have had with the kids. Even if it’s raining it’s just so nice, the corn maize is actually a very good size which is hard to find and the attractions and games really don’t disappoint.
The children can pick their own Pumpkin and bring them to the Halloween carving workshop in the Ladyrath Pumpkin Patch barn where all the grown-ups and little ones get involved together. Just pop in a candle and leave the cleanup to them! There will also be face painting, treats, and lots more fun for everyone.
This one is a NO SCARE event, but gives you the family-friendly Halloween vibe without the tears for the little ones.
