About

Saturday 31 October, Quiet session: 5.15pm – 6pm, time slots from 6pm – 7.45pm. Shaftesbury Park, Carrickfergus.

Get ready for CarrickFEARgus, a Halloween celebration bringing frightful family fun, entertainment and plenty of treats to Shaftesbury Park on Saturday 31 October 2026.

Families can enjoy an evening packed with Halloween adventure, from messy creations to live entertainment and spooktacular performances. There will also be a relaxed session available at the event, offering a quieter and more comfortable experience for those who prefer a calmer atmosphere.

Young spell seekers can join the School of Wizardry interactive show before singing along with The Spooky Spectacular, filled with laughs, surprises and seasonal silliness.

Little ones can dance the Broomstick Jiggle under the UV lights, explore the Bubble Zone, get creative at slime workshops and enjoy sensory messy play. Families can also take on Halloween carnival games and discover activities designed for little hands and big imaginations.

Keep your eyes peeled for spooky characters wandering around the park, marvel at fire performances and the towering stilt walkers!

There will also be tasty treats available to buy throughout the event.

So gather your Boo Crew, dress up in your favourite Halloween outfits and join us for a wickedly good family evening at CarrickFEARgus!

ALL attendees must have a ticket each (adults and children). Adults and over 12 years old - £2.35 + booking fee, 0-11 year olds – free.
