    Christmas in Galway

    Could Galway's city centre be any cosier? Maybe at Christmas. Warm lights, cute wood cabins and a whopper of a Christmas tree set the scene, with a music stage for carollers, children’s workshops and visit from Mr S. Claus all planned. Expect exciting foods, too, from savoury German sausages and pretzels to yummy chocolate waffles.

    Christmas at Limerick's Milk Market

    Is the Milk Market the finest of its kind in Ireland? It's certainly up there. Green is the name of the game here with organic food and a green ethos central to the running of this impressive vaulted space. Come Christmas, come yuletide cheer, and the market is decked out in cosy seasonal style with choirs and carollers providing an atmospheric Christmas soundtrack.

    And don't miss...

    Santa's Cottage, County Down: Nestled in the Mourne Mountains, Santa’s Cottage is a snug, 19th century retreat, with whitewashed walls, stone floors and open fires. Between the orchard, hen house, and trout-filled lakes, Santa never goes hungry. Visitors are welcome to pop into the elves’ workshop, meet Rudolph or grab a bite in Mrs Claus’ café.

    Days of Christmas Past, County Tyrone: Over in Omagh’s Ulster American Folk Park, Santa has another task on his hands as he and Mrs Claus take visitors back in time and along the journey of a traditional Ulster family at Christmas. An outdoor museum, traditional crafts, and read-along sessions with Santa's elves are the icing on the Christmas cake.
