At Abbey Centre · Tir Connell Street, Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, F94 DX51
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
The Abbey Centre in Ballyshannon marks Halloween with a fancy dress screening of Casper on Friday, 23 October 2026.
The Abbey Centre’s own events listing bills the evening as a Halloween Fancy Dress Night at the Movies, screening the 1995 family ghost film Casper, and encourages costumes for the occasion. It sits among a run of autumn events at the centre, which also hosts the Allingham Festival the following week. The listing does not give an exact start time or price, so families should confirm both with the Abbey Centre before heading in, especially if arriving in costume. Casper is a gentle, PG-rated ghost story rather than a scary film, making the fancy dress night better suited to younger children than a horror-themed Halloween screening.
The Abbey Centre is on Tir Connell Street in Ballyshannon, south Donegal, close to the Erne estuary. Ballyshannon sits on the N15 and N3, roughly 6km from Bundoran, with Bus Éireann services connecting it to Donegal town, Bundoran and Sligo.
Ballyshannon is one of Ireland’s oldest towns, rising steeply over the River Erne, with the Abbey Centre as its main arts and cinema venue. Coming the week before the town’s Allingham Festival, this fancy dress night is a lighter, family-focused start to the Abbey Centre’s autumn season. More on Ballyshannon and Co. Donegal.
