From 3pm – 4.30pm Footsteps NI presents ‘Feast of the Dead’ in Enniskillen and Omagh town centres. This ghostly experience involves a journey around each town on the “Hunt For the Wandering Vampire”. The wandering vampire will be racing through the streets of Enniskillen and Omagh playing some tricks as he roams. However, the vampire will not be the only strange character to be spotted on the busy town centre streets this Saturday afternoon and those taking part in ‘Feast of the Dead’ should keep their eyes peeled for other spooky characters along the way. ‘Feast of the Dead’ is suitable for children aged 8 years and over.
Booking is not required for any of the performances however those wishing to watch the entire show should be at the Diamond, Enniskillen or Market Street, Omagh at the start time of the performance.
Speaking about ‘Halloween on the High Street’, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Errol Thompson said:
“Due to the ongoing Covid-19 health pandemic the Council made the decision earlier this year to focus its efforts on offering a range of small-scale family activities.
Halloween on the High Street will bring some magical fun to Enniskillen and Omagh town centres this Saturday with music and performances for all the family to enjoy.
As well as ‘Halloween on the High Street’, Halloween themed shows and activities, suitable for children and young people, will also take place at The Ardhowen, Enniskillen and the Strule Arts Centre Omagh, while Enniskillen Castle will host jumping clay workshops and the ‘Which Witch is Which’ trail over the Halloween period.
