Dalkey Castle Christmas with Santa

Dalkey Castle Christmas with Santa

About the event

Dalkey Castle's Christmas show for children is full of stories, singing and games, performed by actors from Deilg Inis Theatre Company and the castle's tour guides. Children practise Santa's favourite song with Jingle the elf, tell Twinkle what they'll leave out for Santa and the reindeer, and help Santa find his "Ho Ho Ho" when he arrives.

The show lasts about 40 minutes, with no queuing, and every child receives an age-appropriate gift. It is for children aged 18 months and over, with up to 20 people per slot and at least one adult for every five children on a booking.
