HERE’S something that might save you if you are looking to “entertain’’, in fact what they would much prefer, terrify your offspring during the Halloween mid-term break and that is the Halloween Spooktacular at the Irish National Stud.

With their spooky pony rides, terrifying face painting, the scariest outfit competition and the opportunity to experience the life of a thoroughbred, there’s plenty of family fun to be had in Kildare this Halloween.
