On the evening of 31 October 2026, a storytelling walk invites participants to trace the thread of time back to Samonios, the Celtic festival widely regarded as the distant ancestor of modern Halloween.
Conceived as a guided narrative journey along a path, the activity combines slow walking with spoken tales that connect ancient Celtic tradition to the 31 October we celebrate today. The idea is to walk through stories, letting a voice lead you step by step toward the seasonal roots of the holiday—long before pumpkins, costumes, and candy took centre stage.
For an evening storytelling walk, wear sturdy shoes suited to walking and bring a small torch or headlamp. Autumn nights cool down quickly, so an extra layer will make the experience more comfortable. Check with the organiser in advance regarding capacity, registration requirements, and any specific conditions for participation.
