Santa’s Magical Village is located in the Castlecomer Discovery Park’s Craft Yard. Free parking is available to all visitors and ticket holders during the event.
At check in, visitors are warmly greeted at reception, slots confirmed, personalised requests to Santa recorded and guests receive their passes to meet with Santa Claus.
After checking in at reception, visitors have the option to walk the park, visit some of the permanent on site attractions, dine in Jarrow Café or the very popular TukTuk Asian Street Kitchen Restaurant, browse the on-site retailers in the Craft Yard or simply wait until called upon for their Santa’s Magical Village experience.
On entry through a magically themed portal, visitors interact with some of Santa’s Elves and help them to make reindeer food, see Mrs. Claus making some tasty cookies – tying them out for themselves and finally sitting with Santa for a chat and having your photo taken with him.
Santa has planned a sensory aware day on Friday 1st of December from 2-8pm for all of his friends and families needing consideration and assistance (details below).
IMPORTANT – Any visitors expecting a present from Santa need to purchase a Child’s ticket! Please note that Santa’s presents have been designed for children of 12 years and younger.
SENSORY DAY
Date: Friday 1st December (2-8pm) We would like to welcome all neurodiverse families to Santa’s Magical Village on this day, and celebrate with Santa your way. Our team are ready to help and support your family, so your child can have a happy and memorable visit to Santa, Mrs. Claus and their mischievous Elves!
As always, Santa, Mrs. Claus and their elves are super patient and calm. The environment will have reduced festive music and lighting for an all still very magical experience.
We recognise that not one size fits all, so we are ready to personalise to your needs.
We can be contacted by email or phone and will provide you with a contact to manage your entire preparation and visit to this event with us. We have reduced queuing and longer time slots for your family to get through the experience. We will give precise time slots in advance, so no surprises and no stress.
We look forward to seeing you!

While booking child tickets, you will have an option to include the “Santa’s Invitation Letter” to your package, we will just require your child’s name and the address that the invitation is to be sent to. This can be a postal address or an email address.
