Who wouldn’t love working on a festival that celebrates the legacy of one of Ireland’s most treasured authors. The team at Schweppe Curtis Nunn has produced another Four Days of Deadly Adventures for Dublin City Council’s Bram Stoker Festival with incredible new experiences alongside the revival of some festival favourites for Dublin’s bravest souls across the October Bank Holiday Weekend.

BOREALIS is a free, mesmerising installation of light and sound, which will create the illusion of an aurora borealis in Dublin Castle’s Upper Courtyard; ‘Stokerland’ is the annual pop-up Victorian fun park for families and the eternally young in the shadows of St. Patrick’s Cathedral; on Halloween night at the O’Reilly Theatre, Dreamgun Film Reads points their satirical laser beam at Bram Stoker’s titular 600-year-old demon in a new Film Read based on the iconic novel and every vampire movie that it inspired; Motherfoclóir Irish language podcast is back from the dead for a once-off special live edition at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks; and meet Dacre Stoker, Bram’s great grand-nephew along with actors Mags McAuliffe and Donncha O’Dea in ‘Stoker on Stoker: 125 Years of Dracula's Secrets Unearthed’ at Smock Alley Theatre.

Just a few of the events from a programme packed with fun experiences, paying homage to Bram Stoker and his legacy, for Dubliners of all ages to enjoy. See the full programme and plan your long weekend here.
