Max HeyraudThe Ritual returns to Slane Castle on Halloween night, transforming the historic estate into a labyrinth of culinary, musical and artistic encounters steeped in secrecy.
Set across multiple spaces: a tented courtyard, one of the castle’s most iconic rooms, and a newly constructed underground nightclub beneath its foundations. The event promises a journey into the unknown. In keeping with its clandestine ethos, phones will be cloaked on entry and photography is strictly forbidden.
The night begins in the grand dining room with a banquet crafted by Irish-Filipino collective Bahay. For €200 plus booking fees, guests will share a fine dining experience paired with wine, before joining the wider celebration. General admission opens from 7 PM, with early bird tickets starting at €34.50. Final entry closes at 9 PM, keeping the atmosphere tightly held.
Transport options include shuttle services from Dublin’s north and south sides, alongside self-arranged travel for those wishing to make their own way.
Early access tickets are available from Monday, September 22nd, to mailing list subscribers, with the general sale launching Tuesday, September 23rd, via Resident Advisor. The event is strictly for 21s.
For those bold enough to enter, The Ritual promises a Halloween night that lingers only in memory — a gathering where indulgence, sound, and secrecy intertwine.
