Luggwoods
Seasonal forest trails in Saggart with Halloween pumpkin picking, Santa’s Enchanted Forest & Easter experiences. Pre-booked time slots; mainly outdoors.
About
Luggwoods is a seasonal, family-run forest experience set on the slopes above Saggart in the Dublin Mountains. Rather than a year-round attraction with fixed daily hours, Luggwoods runs themed events across the calendar—Halloween (Fall Festival with pumpkin patch), Christmas (Santa’s Enchanted Forest and Santa Express), and Easter trails—delivered as guided, time-slotted journeys through woodland paths and rustic barns. Expect costumed hosts, story-led stops, photo moments, and (at Halloween) pumpkin picking; at Christmas, families can board the Luggwoods Express and visit Santa’s new woodland village. The whole experience is designed for families with primary-age children, though babies and toddlers are welcome; note that the woodland terrain includes hills and uneven paths, so sturdy footwear is essential and pushchairs can be challenging on the main trail. Parking is free on site for ticketholders, and visits are organized by pre-booked time slots to manage crowding. The setting offers panoramic views over Dublin city, and many families come dressed up (Halloween) or in festive outfits (Christmas) for photos. If you prefer shorter walks or need step-free access, the Santa Express route provides a wheelchair-friendly alternative to the full forest trail.
