Dessie Havlin
I am 17 and going into my last year of school. I am studying Maths, Religious Studies, Music, and Moving Image Arts. I have always had a passion for film and music and love to create my own songs and movies. As part of the Media Team I am aiming to showcase some of the amazing Mount Stewart stories through the use of visual arts and get people my age more involved with the culture of the National Trust.

From ancient Kings and Gods of the Sea to a magical Enchantress, Mount Stewart has many stories to tell this Halloween. Venture down and enjoy our tails and trails. Enjoy a fun day as you take the opportunity to discover more about the Myths and Legends that surround Mount Stewart with 6 days of trails, craft, fun and some surprises for all the family this Halloween.
