“Help me! Help me hide it! For the Prince of Darkness is after the Moon!”

As his knees buckled, but he held his own, He let out a rallying moan “Come people! Light fires on the City’s Walls of stone.

Make feasts of the harvest and guises must be sewn.

Summon the dead from their dusty bed to join the good fight as Dark vs Light To release the Moon on Hallowe’en Night!”

For 3 evenings before Samhain, we party to banish the dark with a supernatural illuminated animation trail around the City’s Walls. *Guided maps will be available from the Info Point at Waterloo Place.

As there are some steps on the trail, provision will be made for accessible access.
