The Phantom Flyer

The Railway Station, Market Street, Downpatrick, County Down, BT30 6LZ
Four costumed performers gathered around a large black cauldron filled with glowing blue liquid in a theatrical, halloween themed setting.

About

Something spooky is trying to take over the town of Downpatrick, and we’ve seen reports of vampires, witches, zombies, and is that a mummy on the tracks?

Are you brave enough to help the famous vampire hunter Van Helsing stop the ghostly goings on?

The ever-popular interactive family-friendly show returns this Halloween from the creative team at Avalard Productions with a new script and some much-requested familiar faces.

This event is designed with children in mind and is suitable for all ages, but parental discretion is advised with very young or nervous children. The performance takes place indoors and outdoors, so do dress for the weather, and ride The Phantom Flyer in your best costumes and fancy dress outfits!

What's included

Face painting on arrival (be sure to arrive super early as it can be busy)
Train journey and interactive show on board and at our Inch Abbey Station

Snacks are available from our buffet counter

Check-in details - Please arrive 20-30 minutes before your train, a bit longer if you want to visit our face painter.
