Christmas days out

christmas days out Our Ultimate Christmas Guide is the most comprehensive listing of Christmas Days Out, Visit Santa venues and Christmas Events in Ireland. We start receiving enquiries about Christmas days as early as July every year!!. We now receive so many Christmas events and Seasonal activities from venues and organisers around the country that we had to build a separate web site just to fit it all in! That’s the story behind DaySOut.ie – it’s about Seasonal days out all year round.

We have visited many attractions and venues throughout Ireland and only recommend the best! Your visit to Santa needs to be a special one as these memories are forever. We’ll be highlighting other Christmas Events, Markets and Pantomimes too so don’t forget to check in with us regularly. Where are the best Christmas days? Who has the best Santa experience? – take a look through our list and start planning your Christmas Day Out.

As the Santa Venues are getting more and more popular, we do recommend booking early! This allows you to secure your preferred venue, date and time.

Don’t forget to share our page via Facebook and other Social Media to be in with a chance of winning tickets to some of the top Christmas Days Out this year!
