Lismore Castle Dungeon

About this event

Test your bravery as you descend into the Dungeon and meet the old souls of Lismore Castle. Take a trip through more than a millennium of scary history in some never-before-seen parts of Lismore Castle. Prepare to come face-to-face with some of the larger than life characters whose spirits haunt this venerable old building.

Lismore Castle Dungeon is a 360 degree immersive experience involving 24 live actors, 8 themed spaces, one spectacular setting and 1400 years of history. Laugh, scream or cry as you get up close and personal with some rather unsavoury characters...

...but only if you’re brave enough.

Age

Please note that this event is for over 18s only and is decidedly not suitable for children. Where ticket-checkers are uncertain as to whether someone is over 18, identification may be sought. Unfortunately, admission may be refused in cases where the ticket-checkers are unsatisfied that someone meets this criterion.

Location

The event takes place at Lismore Castle: Entry to the Castle for the event is via the ‘Green Road’. From the public carpark beside the Playpark, our helpers will be on hand to show the way.

Getting there

There is a public carpark at the start of the ‘Green Road’, which is the most convenient parking for the event. However, as parking is limited in this carpark, we recommend that those who can do so should make their way to the event on foot, if possible. For others, if the carpark is full, we recommend that car drivers park legally on the streets of Lismore and make their way to the event on foot.

From the carpark, the entrance to the event is approximately 400m (a quarter of a mile) along an unsurfaced road, so please wear suitable footwear for walking this road (high heels are not suitable). This walk will take most people about five minutes, so please allow for this, and any time spent parking, when planning your journey to the event.

We strongly encourage punctuality in arriving, as this will help the smooth running of the event and enhance the evening's enjoyment for everyone.
