Go on a Halloween adventure through the gardens and woodland of Turlough Park this Midterm to see if you can find Scarecrow Jack hiding in the woods.

Pick up a map at Museum Reception to take our spooky scarecrow trail inspired by the Irish folk legend - Jack of the Lantern.

Jack was a character so mean and stingy that he was turned away from heaven and then shut out of hell as well!

He now wanders the night for all time with only a lantern made out of a carved turnip to light his way!

This Midterm, bring all of the family to the Museum to pick up your free map and find Scarecrow Jack in the woods. When you find all of the scarecrows, bring your finished trail to Museum Reception to enter a free draw for a spooktacular Halloween hamper. 

This is a free, self-guided activity, suitable for families. Available during Museum opening hours from Saturday, 25 October, to Sunday, 2 November 2025.
