Halloween
What's on for families in Newcastle
20 family events within 10 miles of Newcastle over the next four weeks: crafts, shows, storytimes, trails and more.
Newcastle sits where the Mournes meet the sea, with the beach and promenade right in town. Tollymore Forest Park, at the foot of the mountains, has riverside walks open all year, and Castlewellan Forest Park, a short drive away, has the Peace Maze, one of the longest hedge mazes in the world, around a lake.
