With a 159 year history - it comes as no surprise that there’s some ghostly goings on in one Killarney school – and locals can experience it first-hand very soon.
Students in St Brendan’s College have a creepy feeling that October 25, 26 and 27 will be a Spooktacular – and the school is allowing the public access in to witness it first-hand from 6-9pm!
Transition Year students are currently building a Haunted Hall with a maze through the courtyard – and the 15 to 20 minute school tour will be suitable for those aged eight upwards.
Visitors will be guaranteed a screamingly good time - as they’ll be greeted by Spencer Hawthorn at the main door – and who knows who they’ll meet along the old school corridors.
In what is the first Halloween themed event for the school, it promises to be scary and fun, explained teacher Carol Hickson.
“TYs, First, Second and Fifth Years are putting the tour together,” Carol told the Killarney Advertiser.
“We’re embracing the age of the school. It was built in 1860, just after the Famine. Visitors will meet the headmaster and a few creepy characters along the way. Spensor, their tour guide will bring them on a tour of the school into some places they shouldn’t go to and they’ll meet a creepy headmaster and some scary staff.”
The public can purchase tickets for €5 each or a family ticket of five for €20 from the school on 064 6631021, she added.
“Be careful what doors you open!”

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
