Birr and Edenderry transformed as part of Halloween celebrations

As the season of haunts and howls comes to and end, the last of the county’s official Halloween events took place in Birr and Edenderry last weekend.

The towns of Birr and Edenderry were transformed in a Halloween Haunt spectacular of spooky, spine tingling proportions over the weekend!

Despite the weather conditions children and their families turned out donning unique and spooky costumes and enjoying the entertainment and sights of the spooky decorations.

“Our Halloween events provide something for families of all ages and we created an open space where communities can come together and enjoy a truly unique event experience,” said promotor Aidan Shortall, Up Close and Personal Promotions.

“We were delighted to welcome lots of families to Birr and Edenderry last weekend for this year’s Halloween celebrations. The entertainment was perfect for children and adults alike, and we had two wonderful days,” said Offaly County Council Cathaoirleach Cllr Frank Moran.

These events are supported by the Local Live Performance Programming Scheme, with thanks to Minister Catherine Martin, The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media, Offaly County Council and are in association with Aidan Shortall of Up Close and Personal Promotions.

Anna Marie Delaney, Chief Executive of Offaly County Council, said: " I also wish to pay tribute to the Elected Members and associated staff in Tullamore, Birr and Edenderry Municipal Districts. Their ongoing support and commitment is valued and appreciated."
