comment

Waterford, Ireland’s oldest city, will be transformed into a magical Winterval wonderland from Friday, November 15th until Monday, December 23rd 2024.

Brought to you by Waterford City and County Council, Winterval 2024 will see the return of lots of the original attractions, brand new events, and magical reimaginations of so many of the festival favourites.  The European City of Christmas will be a world of Christmas celebration, magical experiences, festive family attractions, seasonal surprises and an abundance of free and ticketed events for all ages to enjoy.

Santa is coming back to Winterval

The Winterval elves have been hard at work preparing and planning for the magic of the annual Winterval Festival and of course, this year creating a great celebration to honour the title of Waterford holding the crown of the European City of Christmas for the first year.

Santa has made preliminary visits to Ireland’s Christmas Festival to ensure his elves are carrying out all of his tip-top plans for his return to the stunning 12th-century caverns that lie beneath the City’s Medieval Museum in the Viking Triangle. The magical space will be transformed for the official grand return of Santa at the 2024 Winterval Festival, which will take place in Waterford for the 12th year this November 15th to December 23rd 2024 where he will spread joy and holiday cheer to boys and girls of all ages.

Tickets for ‘Santa At Winterval’ are available for purchase for all the little boys and girls coming to the festival for a visit to Santa Claus,where a band of merry elves will lead little ones to a seat in Santa’s magical grotto and families can enjoy the photo stops and arts and crafts along the way too. The all-new Winterval grotto offers free tickets for adults, and visitors to the main man will each receive a present and printed family photograph.  Santa will host little guests all the way through the festival until December 23rd, 2024.

At Winterval, Ireland’s Christmas Festival, there will be plenty to see and do before you ever head to Santa Claus, with the festival’s firm favourites including the Waterford Illuminates light show, Winterval on Ice, the Glenveagh Christmas Market at Winterval, The Trash Test Dummies Show, live choral sessions and music gigs and lots more set to dazzle and delight.

* Also available – Sensory Santa’s At Winterval

Commenting on the festival planning, Winterval festival co-director John Grubb says,

“Trevor Darmody from the Waterford Academy of Music and Arts and I have been reliving our great Christmas pasts over the entire summer as we meet the fellow festive creators across Ireland and beyond.

We have a wonderful, surprising and delightful array of events and activities for all ages in the family and we can’t wait to unveil the full programme of events in the next few weeks too. For now, Santa has given his seal of approval and we are thrilled to say “tickets to see Santa at Winterval are now available.” 

Further details of the 2023 Winterval Festival programme will be revealed over the coming weeks, for now, details on the Santa experience can be viewed and reservations made at www.winterval.ie

Santa’s Winter Wonderland at Crag Cave Kerry

comment

Santa’s Winter Wonderland 2023

Please note. Santa’s Grotto is in our play area Crazy Cave, it is not in the cave.

On Christmas Eve, some years ago, as Santa flew over Crag Cave in Castleisland with Rudolph and the reindeer, it started to snow. Fresh snowflakes are one of Santa’s favourite things and watching them fall gently on the sleigh, he got distracted!

Santa accidentally dropped a bottle of magic dust! 

It sprinkled all over Crag Cave and now, each December magic fills the air around us. So every year Santa returns to this special place with Rudolph, some of the reindeer and the elves to visit all the boys and girls at his Winter Wonderland in Castleisland, County Kerry.  

With a dash of magic dust, our Winter Wonderland experience brings Santa and Rudolph, Santa’s bedroom, the elves’ bedroom, the North Pole post box, polar bears, snow scenes and an animated reindeer ride to all our visitors.

I can’t wait! What will happen during our visit?

Each family will be able to visit Santa on their own in the grotto.

The elves will guide all the children and families through the Winter Wonderland.

Children can enjoy an animated reindeer ride and a complimentary one hour play in our Crazy Cave soft play centre.

Rudolph and some of the other reindeer will be outside enjoying the magic Crag Cave grass!

Santa’s elf will take a photograph of each family and it can be viewed after play time in the Christmas shop and purchased if desired. (Photographs are not included in the Winter Wonderland experience.) However, Santa’s elves are happy to take photographs on your own devices as you make your way through the Winter Wonderland.

 

Santa’s Winter Wonderland Prices

(including one hour in Crazy Cave soft play centre)

Child:  €25

Babies less than 1 year old : €15

Adult: €10

Book Now

After your visit to Santa’s Winter Wonderland at Crag Cave, why not take the time to spread some magic dust feeling to the special people in your life? Browse through our Christmas shop where there’s a treasure trove of hand-made, artisan and bespoke Christmas gifts and decorations.

Please note the play area is open until 7pm at the weekends and 8.30 on weekdays during Santa.

Our Garden Restaurant and Crazy Cave café serves delicious hot food, snacks, freshly baked pastries and a selection of teas and coffees. During the Winter Wonderland weekends, food will be served until 5:30pm. On weekdays you can enjoy a late evening meal until 6:30pm.
