Santa’s Christmas Magic 2023

Santa and Elfeena, his musical Elf, are back at Brigit’s Garden!

Experience the real wonder and magic of Christmas with our unique and very special, non-commercial Santa experience.

The highlight of your visit is the professional and interactive show with Santa and Elfeena – full of fun, music and Christmas magic, delightful for all ages.

In this year’s show, Elfeena has some very exciting news to share, but she may need your help to make her musical North Pole adventure possible! Mrs Claus has a special favour to ask too, and Santa needs everyone to help him light the Christmas tree by magic!

Before the show there is lots to enjoy at your own pace – join Mrs Claus for stories in the thatched Roundhouse, follow the clues for the elfish Treasure Hunt around the Celtic Gardens, play games in the Marquee and hang a wish or a memorial card on our special Christmas Wishing Tree.

The show and story-telling features well-known theatre and street artists Tracy Bruen, Orla McGovern and Maria Tivnan, as well as Santa Claus himself!

Santa’s Christmas Magic

Your ticket covers a full 2 ½ hour experience and includes:

• Delicious hot apple punch for all the family on arrival.
• Stories with Mrs Claus in the thatched Roundhouse – she has some funny tales about Santa!
• An elfish Treasure Hunt around the Celtic Gardens – can you find all the clues?
• Games, arts & crafts and the Christmas Wishing Tree in the Marquee – make a Christmas decoration to take home, play seasonal games, and hang your wish or remember someone special with a memorial card.
• Santa’s Christmas Magic show – the highlight of the day! This intimate professional show in the cosy surrounds of the Hazel Room features music and fun with Santa and his special Elf, along with the traditional favourites of sing-alongs, lighting candles with Santa and the magical lighting of the Christmas tree.
• Santa gives each family a special candle to light on Christmas Eve (please note there are no individual presents).
• After the show, our staff will assist you to take your own photos with Santa.

While you are here, make the most of the day and enjoy delicious winter fare in the Garden Café, and browse in the Gift Shop for unique Christmas gifts.
