Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd of October the 2026 Autumn Walking Festival begins with 2 Night Hikes!
There’s something truly magical about walking in the Blackstairs Mountains after dark – the serenity of nature becomes even more pronounced, with the soft sounds of the night and the twinkling lights of the towns and villages far below. As you journey through the autumn darkness, you’ll be treated to spectacular views of County Carlow.
Led by experienced guides from Tullow Mountaineering Club who regularly conduct night walks, this hike offers a unique opportunity to explore the mountains under the cover of night. It’s a popular event not to be missed!
A torch is essential as is suitable walking gear!
