The eternally-popular Dracula’s Disco returns for another afternoon of deadly dancing, presented in partnership with The Ark, Ireland’s dedicated cultural centre for children and a champion of ambitious, high-quality arts experiences for young audiences.
Count Dracula’s Resident DJ (who’s a lot more craic than you’d think) will spin much-loved hits and Hallowe’en classics for little ones and grown-ups alike. Join the fun at The Round Room at The Mansion House with music, dancing and ghoulish surprises, whatever the weather.
Perfect for ages 4+, this is a disco for young zombies, ghosts and all music-loving little monsters. Come in costume, do your own Dead Dance and get your boo!-gie on.
This free event requires tickets.
Tickets will be available on the Ark’s website from Tuesday 20th of October at 10am. You can register your interest for tickets now here. If you register your interest, you will receive a reminder email before tickets are released.
