🎶The sound of Samhain 🍂

Long before Halloween became the celebration we know today, Samhain marked a powerful turning point in the Irish year.

A time when the harvest was gathered, the darker half of the year began, and stories, traditions and music helped connect communities with the world around them.

Music has always held a special place in Irish tradition. Tunes were passed from one generation to the next, carrying stories, memories and a sense of place. And among Ireland’s most familiar traditional instruments is the tin whistle — small, simple and unmistakably Irish in sound. 🎵

This October, join us at the Casino Model Railway Museum for Samhain Sounds, a one-hour journey into the music, folklore and storytelling of this ancient Irish festival.

You’ll:
🍂 Discover some of the traditions and stories associated with Samhain
🎶 Learn to play a traditional Irish tune on the tin whistle
🔥 Explore the role of music in Irish folklore and seasonal traditions
🌾 Enjoy a seasonal taste inspired by the harvest
🎵 And take home your very own tin whistle!

No musical experience needed!

📅 15th October
📅 22nd October
📅 30th October
🕖 7pm
🎟️ €25 per person

Come and discover the sounds and stories of Samhain — and experience a little piece of Ireland’s musical tradition for yourself. ✨

🎶 Discover the Joy of Traditional Irish Music Right Here in Malahide! 🎶

You are in the right hands!

Ever thought about picking up an instrument, or maybe dusting off those tunes from years ago? Here’s your sign to give it a go!

We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming tin whistle classes, led by none other than local resident and expert musician, Dr. Maurice Mullen! Maurice brings decades of passion, performance, and teaching experience to the table - from sessions across Malahide, Portmarnock, Skerries, and Dublin City, to his amazing community work founding Ceoltóirí Chluain Tarbh.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to rekindle an old flame with music, you’ll be in the warmest hands. As Maurice puts it:
“Learning to play traditional music is for everyone, from 5 years old to 105 years! Learning to play music as an adult is no barrier. The personal joy of playing readily leads into the realisation that playing with others for fun is a wonderfully fulfilling venture. Invariably, it becomes a life affirming activity where seeking out new tunes and melodies is part of the fun of playing.”

This is your perfect opportunity to try your hand at something new, reconnect with Irish heritage, and share a few laughs along the way.

✨ Ready to find your rhythm?

Join Malahide’s own Dr. Maurice Mullen for an inspiring, friendly series of tin whistle classes tailored for all ages and skill levels!
• Instructor: Dr. Maurice Mullen (PhD in Fingal Traditional Music Heritage)
• Instrument: Tin Whistle – you get to take it home at the end of the session.
• Who can join: Absolute beginners to returning players (Ages 5 to 105!)
• Vibe: Welcoming, fun, and community-focused
Whether you want to play for your own enjoyment or join local sessions down the line, taking that first step is easier than you think.

📍 Location: Casino Model Railway Museum
