Santa Claus is arriving to his workshop at Dublin’s Powerscourt Centre next weekend

It's almost that time of year again.

Yes, with December just around the corner, children all around the country send off their lists in the hope of receiving a gift from Santa. But if your little one prefers to drop their letter to Santa Claus directly, we've got some good news: Father Christmas will be arriving at Dublin's Powerscourt Centre next weekend. At noon on Saturday, November 30, the Powerscourt Centre will be welcoming back the main man himself. Jolly ol' St. Nick will be arriving to the joyful melodies of Piccolo Lasso Children’s Choir alongside Mrs. Claus and the playful elves. Filled with 18th century charm, Father Christmas’ workshop is a must see for all the family. Greeted by a toasty fire and twinkling lights, you will really feel like you have just landed in the North Pole. For the first year ever, Powerscourt Centre are selling all Father Christmas tickets online - which you can buy here. Tickets are priced beginning at €18.50, including booking fee, for two adults and one child. It includes a photo with Father Christmas and a unique gift, plus a donation to the Simon Community to help the homeless at Christmas. The Powerscourt Centre will hold a series of events over the Christmas period, including the annual Simon House of Light, where a festive themed light projection show will take place on the façade of the Centre on Thursday December 5.
