This’ll help you find your festive spirit.

The Christmas lights in Douglas Community Park will be set to twinkling on Sunday, December 7th this year, with an all-day Christmas Market to delight visitors of all ages.

The lights will be switched on by Gareth O’Callaghan, while Santa will be making the rounds and local groups will perform carols throughout the day.

Starting from noon, you can swing by and browse the food stalls for lunch and brunch, while picking up handmade crafts, candyfloss, crepes, and hot drinks from various artisan sellers.

If you’re keen to get the festive fun started before then, Santa arrives at Douglas Village Shopping Centre on Friday, November 22nd, and will be meeting local children there every weekend in the lead-up to Christmas.

This week on Thursday, November 7th you can catch some carol singing by Gaelscoil na Dúglaise too.
