Santa's House Express at Palmerstown House Estate

Santa's House Express at Palmerstown House Estate

About the event

Santa's House Express returns to Palmerstown House Estate, just off exit 8 on the N7, about 15 minutes from Dublin, with a new addition for 2026: Merrymyst Hollow.

The journey begins with a train ride to Santa's Magical Manor. Inside, Mrs Claus shares stories and festive treats before your family's private visit with Santa, where every child receives a new cuddly gift. Each child also gets two ride tokens for the family funfair, and there's a food and drinks village with hot food and festive treats. Professional photos, baubles and snow globes are optional extras.
