Hear Ireland's Darkest Stories

The macabre and the gruesome are part of our shared history. On Darkland, we don’t shy away from them.

Here, we celebrate grim, grisly and ghoulish tales, stories of ghastly deeds, vicious fairies and gut-wrenching deaths. This is a tour of the things that go bump in the night.

Join us for an hour long, immersive journey through Irish history and folklore, performed live by one of our talented storytellers.

Some stories cannot be told if a child is in the room. Darkland tours are strictly 18+ – ID may be required.

Darkland showcases live, unscripted, traditional storytelling. Tours are solely performed through English.

Spaces are limited, so book now – this is storytelling as you’ve never seen it before.

We went on the Darklands tour and I can’t recommend it enough! I’ve already sent some friends to this and they also had a wonderful time. All three stories were told and such a effective way, it’s exactly what I was hoping to hear when I came to Ireland.

I did both the Daytime and Darklands storytelling with some friends. They were a ton of fun! The storytellers were captivating and engaging. This is a very fun way to hear about Irish stories.

My friends and I had a fantastic experience at the Leprechaun Museum! We took the Darklands Tour at night and our storyteller was Naoise, who did an excellent job setting the mood and delivering tales. He also provided some cultural background to the stories, which gave good context and helped us better understand the tales. I highly recommend the Darklands tour and specifically Naoise as a guide!
