Crossing Boundaries: The Celtic Festival of Samhain Join us to explore Samhain (or Halloween), the festival that marks the beginning of the Celtic year: a time when boundaries are crossed, disguises are worn and games are played to take our minds off what might be lurking outside. Writer and folklorist Róise Ní Bhaoill will delve into one of the four key festivals of the Celtic calendar, exploring the customs and traditions around Samhain and showing how it became closely associated with witches and ‘Trick or Treating’. Monday, 28th October, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm £5.00 – £6.50 Please book tickets via the link below: linenhall.com/event/crossing… #LinenHall #VisitBelfast #Samhain #Belfast
