At The Killeshin Hotel · Dublin Road, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, R32 TYW7
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
The Killeshin Hotel in Portlaoise hosts a Spooky Science Halloween Show on Sunday, 25 October 2026, running from 2pm to 6pm. It is put on by the Junior Einstein’s Science Show and is aimed at children and their families rather than being a straight Halloween party.
The listing describes “a Spooktacular science adventure with the award-winning Junior Einstein’s Science Show,” an “interactive live show” designed for curious kids and “packed with creepy creations, explosive experiments, spooky surprises and plenty of Halloween fun.” It runs as an indoor hotel function-room event rather than an outdoor trail or farm visit, which makes it an option for families looking for something under cover during the mid-term break. The exact running order was not published on the booking page, and the listing gives a four-hour window without saying how it is broken up, so check with the hotel when booking. This show adds to a wider run of Halloween-week activities for children around the county, alongside events such as the pumpkin carving week at Castleview Open Farm.
The Killeshin Hotel is on the Dublin Road on the edge of Portlaoise, close to Exit 17 on the M7 motorway and Portlaoise train station on the Dublin to Cork and Limerick line, with parking on site.
Portlaoise is Laois’s county town, with plenty of cafes and shops on Main Street for before or after the show. There is more to see in Portlaoise and across Co. Laois.
