Retired rugby international Dave Kearney attended the Luggwoods Enchanted Forest and Fall Festival in Saggart, Dublin, over the weekend with his wife Becca and their son Zach. The family-friendly event combined woodland trails, costumed characters and seasonal activities aimed at younger visitors.
A walk through a storybook woodland
Visitors followed winding paths through the forest, meeting a range of curious characters along the way. Along the route, families collected fantastical ingredients for a secret potion intended to restore balance to the enchanted woodland.

After the trail, guests boarded the Spookwood Express, a themed ride that led to a series of Halloween games and challenges. The journey finished at the Witch’s glowing cabin, one of the festival’s theatrical focal points.
