Wicklow’s Gaol Christmas Experience 2016

Santa’s Snug in the Jailer’s Rest

It’s Jingle Cells all the way with the return of  Santa Claus to Wicklow Gaol.

Hassle-free Santa visits away from the crowded bustle of the city are the name of the game, with free facepainting and their charming elf to get you into the festive spirit.

Once again the spectacular lighting that the Gaol has become renowned for far and wide will enchant little ones as they prepare to meet Santa who is in his Snug in the Jailer’s Rest.

All children are invited to post their Santa Letters at the special The North Pole post box to be in with a chance of winning a magical Supper with Santa before Christmas.

Mum and Dad will also be well-catered for at the Jailer’s Rest Bistro and Wine Bar. Drop in for a festive glass of wine and a Christmas treat or book in for a delicious Christmas dining experience in this most unique venue
