Join your cape wearing, broomstick wielding, qualified tour guide, on this unique, fun, and interactive walking tour. Together we'll explore the historically rich, and somewhat haunted Carrickfergus. Where you'll begin with an hours guided tour of an 800 year old castle.

Then be regaled with spine chilling stories of ghostly tales, gruesome murders, accused witches, mystery and intrigue, as we travel along the Main Street. Stopping at the haunted Dobbins Inn, the hanging gate, and some of the places involved in the Islandmagee witch trial. You'll walk where they once did, and sample their punishment. I promise it won't hurt...much!

You will then have a sit down within New Moon Holistics with a refreshing witches brew & biscuit, while I regale you with the true and accurate story of the infamous Islandmagee witches.

Our tour will end there, and you are free to have a look around the lovely shop should you wish. Well...only if you've managed to escape the dreaded pillory.​
