The Snake Hunt will be followed by fun and games for all on the lighthouse lawns.
Hook Lighthouse is open daily and visitors are invited to climb the 115 steps of the fifth-century tower where the monks of Hook Head in Co Wexford lit fires to warn ships off the rocks. With each step, you ascend you will delve back in time and hear the fascinating tales of the Knights, the Monks and Lightkeepers who lived there along with the battles, shipwrecks and heroic seafaring they encountered before you step onto the tower balcony to view the miles of sea and coastline rolling out before you.
