We're doing something special for Halloween on The Tom Dunne show, and we'd like you to get involved.

On Tuesday the 28th of October we're recording a Halloween themed show at the historic and haunted Marsh's library in Dublin.

Marsh's is the earliest public library in Ireland, built in 1701 so we're delighted the staff are letting us take over this special location for one evening.

Stepping through the doors and seeing the dark oak bookcases, the scent of leather binding and vellum in the air - you'll feel you've stepped back in time.

The library is said to be haunted by its founder, then Archbishop, Narcissus Marsh. The story goes that Grace, Marsh’s 19-year-old niece whom he’d raised, fell in love with a man Marsh didn't approve of. He made his opposition to the relationship known and Grace eloped. The morning she and her lover left, she wrote a letter for her uncle explaining her disappearance and asking for forgiveness. Not wanting to leave it anywhere he would find it immediately and try to stop her, she hid it in one of the thousands of books in his library.

Marsh died without ever finding the note and they say his ghost searches for it to this day, banging desks, rattling the reading cages and leafing through book after book.

Join us on Tuesday the 28th for a very special show of music, storytelling and more. 

We have a very limited number of audience places.  

If you'd like to be in with a chance of attending text the word HALLOWEEN followed by your name to 53106.  

The lucky winners will be contacted directly.

Location: Marsh's Library, St Patrick's Close Dublin 8.

Date: 28th of October.

Time: 17:30 - 19:30 (guests must arrive by 17:15 sharp)

Tom doesn't believe in ghosts - but is prepared to be convinced.
