CarrickFEARgus Halloween 2026

Spend Halloween evening in Carrickfergus at Shaftesbury Park on Saturday 31 October 2026. CarrickFEARgus brings together interactive wizardry, seasonal performances, UV dancing, bubbles, slime workshops, sensory messy play and carnival games for families. Roaming characters, stilt walkers and fire performances add to the outdoor programme, with food and treats available to buy separately.

A quieter, ticketed session runs from 17:15 to 18:00. Main-event entry slots begin at 18:00, with the latest advertised arrival at 19:45. The event finishing time is unconfirmed: 19:45 is an entry slot, not a closing time. Follow your booked admission slot and check the organiser’s latest visitor instructions.

Tickets for ages 12 and over cost £2.35 plus a £0.50 booking fee, £2.85 total per paid ticket. Under-12 tickets are free, but every adult and child attending needs a ticket. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Bookings require at least one adult ticket and are limited to eight tickets per customer. Earlier sessions currently show sold out; the 19:45 slot displayed a ticket selector when checked on 19 October. Availability may change.

Venue: Shaftesbury Park, Joymount, Carrickfergus, County Antrim, BT38 7DN.

DRAFT REVIEW REQUIRED: Confirm the actual event finishing time with the organiser, then complete the native MyListing date fields before publication. The schedule is deliberately unindexed rather than using a fabricated end time.
