About this event
Forget the ordinary letterbox – this is the official hub of holiday wishes, bursting with festive wonder. Children won’t just post a letter; they’ll become part of the magic. As an official junior elf, your little one will:
-Write their Christmas letter with a special quill and fairy dust
-Help sort and prepare Ireland’s Christmas wishes in the Sorting Office
-Post their letter in our enchanted North Pole Express mailbox, which delivers straight to Santa’s workshop
-Every carefully written wish is sorted, stamped, and placed on board the North Pole Express – the one and only train delivering dreams directly to Santa’s desk.
From 6th - 21st Dec, slots limited
