Limerick’s Nicholas Street will be the heartbeat of Limerick’s Hallowe’en atmosphere as Tinte Marbh, Ireland’s most hauntingly dark exhibition, Tinte Marbh, comes to Treaty City Brewery from October 16 to November 3.

Tinte Marbh will act as a central piece to Samhain: Limerick’s Hallowe’en Festival, partnered with Lumen Street Theatre and overdrive.ie bringing a mesh of myth, metal, and the macabre to Limerick City’s medieval quarter.

Bringing some of Ireland’s best alternative, pagan, and dark arts visual creators to the Treaty City, the exhibition promises an experience influenced by heavy music and Celtic folklore and culture in its storytelling.
