Now is the time to book.

One of Cork’s cutest Santa experiences just opened for Christmas 2022 reservations, with Mr Claus himself expected to arrive at The Pavilion Garden Centre on Sunday, November 27th.

Santa will be meeting kids and their mums and dads in ten-minute private slots inside an atmospheric grotto on Saturdays and Sundays up until Sunday, December 18th, 2022.

The shop will be festooned with gorgeous festive decor and heaving with gift ideas too so book lunch in the pretty Glasshouse Restaurant if you fancy making a day of it.

“Santa will return to The Pavilion again this year to greet all the girls and boys in advance of his round-the-world trip on Christmas morning!” The Pavilion told their newsletter subscribers.

“Your Santa visit costs €50 per family and includes a family photograph and a children’s gift.”

A maximum of two adults are allowed to accompany the kids per visit. You can choose your date and time and book your tickets here.
