The much-loved Spooky Tunnel has returned to the Waterford Greenway for the Halloween season.

The experience, which is hugely popular with families and Halloween scare-seekers, opened over the bank holiday weekend and continues until this Friday, November 1.

The official launch of this year’s event was marked by a special ceremony which saw the Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Jason Murphy, being joined by Ella and Robyn Whelan and Shauna Weldon, to kick off the spooky festivities.

The Spooky Tunnel experience promises an eerie and atmospheric experience that adds a touch of Halloween magic to the Waterford Greenway.

The event, which has become a highlight of the autumn season in Waterford, invites visitors to enjoy a walk through the tunnel’s unique blend of scary light and sound.

The tunnel is almost 400 metres long and its dimly lit recesses and arched ceiling are fantastically atmospheric at any time of year and form the perfect backdrop for a ‘spooktacular’ Halloween themed display.
