Dundrum Town Centre, Ireland’s premier retail and leisure destination is delighted to announce that Santa is making his highly anticipated return to the Centre this festive season. The announcement comes as Dundrum Town Centre launches its outdoor Christmas experience, which brings shoppers on a magical journey through a beautifully crafted timber village that guides you to ‘Santa’s Christmas Wonderland’.
Upon arrival at Town Square, visitors will meet the doors of Santa’s Christmas Wonderland. Once greeted by giant nutcrackers, journey into the Candy Cane Trail and meet some of the North Pole’s elves, as well as Mrs Claus who will gift you with her ‘secret reindeer food’. They will take you through the Gingerbread Garden to get to their famous workshop. Here, you will get to try out some of their tools on their work bench and write your all-important ‘Letter to Santa’. You can post it in the Centre’s Christmas Post box or take it home and post it later. Then it’s time to meet Santa, he will be delighted to greet you, take a photograph, and give you an early gift wrapped present!
Children hoping to get a glimpse at Santa can stop by Town Square every single day from 27th November until the 24th December. Adults go free to Santa’s Christmas Wonderland at the Centre, while children’s tickets cost €25 and this includes a gift wrapped present. All adults must be accompanied by a child for complimentary access and booking in advance is required. Link to book: Book Santa Tickets.
There is also an exciting colouring competition for children to enter, where one family will win an amazing luxury sun holiday next summer, with compliments from Ireland’s award-winning travel agency Cassidy Travel and Dreams Resorts Lanzarote Playa Dorada Resort & Spa. This prize includes return flights and a 10-night stay in a luxury 5-star hotel in Lanzarote.
Children are invited to print out the Christmas scene at Painting Competition here and bring their finished masterpiece with them for their visit. You must include the child’s name, age, contact e-mail and phone number to be in with a chance of winning.
Pembroke Square has also been transformed into a spectacular festive village. Kids will be encouraged to get their photo taken at the giant bauble with the option to get photos framed, printed on mugs, coasters, baubles and even Christmas decorations. Not only do they look great in your home, they also make great sentimental gifts for loved ones. Fuel a fabulous day out with a delicious hot chocolate from Mrs Claus’s Hot Chocolate Shop and round off your visit to Dundrum Town Centre with a visit to Dundrum On Ice!
