Members of the public are being reminded that Santa’s ‘Big Freeze’ event at the Marina Market will run for another five days.
The event, which is open to children of all ages, will take place at the facility on the Centre Park Rd each day from 1.30pm.
Children attending the event can post letters at the North Pole Outpost, and enjoy a Scandinavian inspired woodland as snow machines create a magical flurry overhead.
Children and their families will also visit Santa in his cosy log cabin, where the moment can be captured with professional photos, snow globes, keyrings, and keepsake prints.
Tickets are priced from €12 and are available for purchase here: https://tinyurl.com/wdxd4bb9.
