Saturday 01th November 2025
Location: Medieval Mile Museum
This November, step inside the Medieval Mile Museum after dark for a night unlike any other. As part of the Kilkenny Home of Halloween Toil and Trouble programme, we’re opening our doors for an evening woven with fire, folklore, and music that promises to be both magical and memorable.

The night begins outdoors with a dramatic spectacle of fire and drumming, lighting up the evening sky and setting the perfect tone for what’s to come. From there, audiences will be welcomed into the museum’s historic surrounds, where the renowned Candlelit Tales will take centre stage. Known for their spellbinding performances, Candlelit Tales bring witches, ghosts and eerie folklore to life, blending ancient stories with live music in a way that captivates every listener.

As the evening draws on, the atmosphere will shift once more, lifted by the extraordinary talents of Zoë Conway and John McIntyre. This dazzling fiddle and guitar duo, deeply rooted in Irish tradition yet fearless in their creativity, have earned acclaim as “one of the best folk duos on the planet.” Their music will close the night on a high note, leaving audiences both enchanted and energised.
