Ireland’s Largest Ever Christmas Market, I BELIEVE™

Ireland’s largest ever Christmas market, I BELIEVE™ Christmas Tree and Market, officially launches in Dublin when the 53 foot floating Rockefeller-inspired Christmas tree, which forms the centre piece, is lit up with over 20,000 lights.

 

With a total of 56 individual traders selling 100% Irish food products and 90% Irish craft, I BELIEVE™ will run for 28 days in the lead-up to Christmas at the exceptional setting of Custom House Quarter, which includes George’s Dock, The chq Building and its surrounding area.

 

In addition to the market offering, I BELIEVE™ will offer Dublin’s most unique Santa experience, where children can enjoy 30-minute group sessions with the former Clery’s Santa and his elves in their custom-built workshop, and hear Christmas stories from Mr. Claus himself. While, adults will be able to enjoy a unique Scandinavian lodge experience at the dedicated Aprés Ski pop-up bar, which will accommodate festive gatherings and Christmas parties.

 

The event is extremely accessible, with bus, LUAS and Dart stops right on their doorstep, so I hope lots of people will come down to the Custom House Quarter over the festive period, to enjoy all that’s on offer. Bígí linn le I BELIEVE™ agus taitneamh a bhaint as an ceiliúradh speisialta seo don Nollaig.” 

 

With charity at its roots, I BELIEVE™ will become an area for Irish Charities including Temple Street Foundation, Simon Communities Ireland, ISPCC Childline, Barretstown, Inner City Helping Homeless, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Christina Noble Children’s Foundation, to build awareness and fundraise.

 

Set amongst an authentic Irish Christmas market full of charm, visitors to I BELIEVE™ will find high quality, one-off gifts from individual traders and seasonal pop-up shops, including Bord Bia’s Christmas Box Shop; LIDL’s first all Irish produce shop, and Kilkenny Shop’s inaugural pop-up shop. Visitors can also purchase their Christmas trees on-site, from Irish Christmas Tree Growers, with a focus on smaller trees being made available to suit apartment living.

 

I BELIEVE™ Christmas Tree and Village is being made possible thanks to the generosity of a range of corporate sponsors, including: Ulster Bank, Lidl, Bord Bia, Dublin City Council, Dublin Port, 98FM, Dublin at Christmas, Coilte, Custom House Management Company, Actavo, The chq Building and Corporate.ie.
