Conviction: A Halloween Experience on Spike Island

This October, Spike Island is getting a little more sinister as mentalist and escape artist Dean Jacob brings his brand-new show, Conviction, to the former island prison.

Explore eerie prison corridors and dark underground tunnels once used for solitary confinement, before experiencing a night of mind-bending illusions, daring escapes and unsettling encounters.

Combining the island's haunting history with suspense, mystery and live entertainment, Conviction promises a Halloween experience that's equal parts thrilling and terrifying.

According to Dean Jacob on Instagram

“The ticket includes the boat ride over and back and also includes the after-dark tour where you're brought to parts of the prison which aren’t open to the general public, then you go to Dean’s new showy show and then back down onto the boat to head back to Cobh”

Who is it for?

Strictly 18+.
