Luggwoods is the place to be this Christmas

Luggwoods is once again bringing the wonder of Lapland to its South Dublin location for a magical festive experience that will delight visitors of all ages. Journey along snow-covered trails through the enchanted forest to discover whimsical surprises around every bend before climbing aboard the  Luggwoods Express.

The locomotive will transport passengers deep into the heart of the forest to the  Santa Claus Village, where they’ll be introduced to Mrs Claus and encounter Santa’s reindeer before a private family visit with the man himself.

Overlooking the twinkling lights of Dublin City, this woodland village is a festive haven where families can make lasting memories together. Children will be treated to a special gift, hot chocolate, and an exhilarating ride on the teacups while taking in the wondrous city views.

Nestled in a beautiful natural forest in the Dublin Mountains, just outside Saggart Village, Luggwoods is a cherished family-run destination where magic comes to life. Since 2015, it’s been creating heartwarming, authentic experiences for families to enjoy all year round. Luggwoods is proud to partner with Barretstown in Ballymore Eustace to raise much-needed funds for the charity through generous donations from visitors to the Luggwoods Wishing Well. 

The Luggwoods Enchanted Forest Christmas experience runs from Sunday, November 22nd; Saturday and Sunday, November 28th and 29th; Friday to Sunday, December 4th and 6th, and 11th and 13th; and Wednesday to Tuesday, December 16th to 22nd, with sensory experiences available on Sunday, November 29th, 10 am to 12 pm, and Wednesday, December 16th, 4 pm to 6 pm.

Tickets for the 2.5-hour experience are priced at €34.95 for adults; €44.95 for children; €10.95 for infants; and €15.95 for carers (with a valid carer ID).

Luggwoods is the place to be for families this Christmas.
