The Spooky Tunnel is back for another year of scares and thrills! This Halloween, come experience one of the most unique events in Waterford. The Spooky Tunnel is a walk-through experience that is sure to be a sight to behold for all age groups. This year’s event promises to be extra special, as it is the return of this popular event following a break due to pandemic restrictions in 2020 and 2021.
The Spooky Tunnel is located at Ballyvoyle Tunnel, which is an almost 400 metre-long brick lined tunnel that was constructed during the 1870’s. The tunnel’s dimly lit recesses and arched ceiling create a fantastic and atmospheric setting that is perfect for a ‘spooktacular’ Halloween themed display.
This Halloween installation is free to attend and is a ‘walk through experience’. 2018 was the first year of the experience and people were blown away by the sights and sounds of Samhain! Word of mouth quickly spread about the experience and visitor figures recorded at the tunnel were over twice those recorded for the same period in late October 2017. This was replicated and even surpassed in 2019. All involved are anticipating a similar response from members of the public this year.
The Spooky Tunnel experience will once again add greatly to other Halloween themed events taking place along Waterford Greenway including the fantastically atmospheric and scary ‘Wicked Woods’ event at Carriganore Woods, near SETU; along with events at Waterford Suir Valley Railway and at Coach House Coffee amongst others.
