Enjoy a special Halloween afternoon tea.

Give yourself a frighteningly good Halloween holiday

If you fancy taking the family for a special treat this Halloween, one Cork hotel has teamed up with a popular East Cork attraction to create a special package.

The Cork International Hotel has teamed up with Leahy’s Open Farm for a two-night stay which includes tickets to the Boo!! Experience in East Cork.

As part of the Halloween family package, the hotel’s team has also compiled a wicked schedule of Halloween-themed activities for the midterm break including daily pumpkin hunts, a monster bash and spooky arts and crafts. Depending on the weather, there will be indoor and outdoor games such as ghostly bowling, pumpkin toss and pumpkin crazy golf.

The package includes two nights in a spacious family room with breakfast each morning and an early bird family dinner on the night of your choice. Guests will also receive a family pass for two adults and two children to Leahy’s Open Farm. This year the Boo!! Experience runs on Saturday 21 October and Sunday 22 October and from Friday 27 October to Tuesday 31 October.

General Manager of the Cork International Hotel, Eoghan Murphy said: “We’re delighted to team up with Leahy’s Open Farm once again. Like us, they love to celebrate the big festivities and the changing seasons. This Halloween they will be running trips on a haunted hay ride through the woods, you can visit the witch’s lair and of course experience their incredible range of animals and activities.”

The Cork International Hotel has also launched a Halloween themed afternoon tea which will be available from Friday 27 October to Sunday 5 November. Afternoon tea will be served from 1pm to 4pm Monday to Saturday and 3pm to 5pm on Sunday.

The menu will be made up of sweet and savoury dishes including spooky fingers and vampire teeth cupcakes served on stands decorated with pumpkins and cobwebs to create a spooktacular atmosphere.

Eoghan Murphy added; “There will be plenty to keep the family entertained at the hotel over the mid-term break too. Our family concierge team has put together a scary amount of activities for kids of all ages.

“There will be plenty of fun surprises too, we will have trick or treating with a twist, all of the treats are hidden in your bedroom, you just need to follow the clues to find them. Our concierge team will be on hand throughout to ensure your break is as stress free as possible and to help you make the most of your trip to Cork.”
