Trine Jensen-Burke

Midterm is coming up.

Which is sort of hard to believe, as wasn’t it just minutes ago the kids went back to school – and yet, here we are, approaching halloween.

Anyway – if you fancy a bit of a break away this midterm (don’t we all), we have rounded up three gorgeous Irish hotels that are all doing fab family deals right now:

1. Glenlo Abbey Hotel, Galway

Set on a 138 acre estate and with the gorgeous changing colours of the Connemara landscape on your doorstep, the Glenloe Abbey Hotel is the perfect place to celebrate halloween this year.

As part of the hotel’s Halloween- Mid-term Package families can enjoy a Fantastic Falconry Experience in the sheltered Walled Garden – promising to be a thrilling experience, where you can get up close and personal with these magnificent birds of prey.

The hotel’s renowned Afternoon Tea will be turning into a Wizard Express Themed Afternoon Tea on the 29th October where the whole family can be witches and wizards for the day!

And with numerous Halloween Events taking place in Galway City and nearby, there has never been a better time to enjoy a family mid-term break in Galway.
