It was getting dark when I arrived so photos are not great though they get better further down the post!
Inside the Santa Village with a snow machine causing the flurries of snow to fall!
These Moose look real I think!
Inside the Santa Village!
Night sky over Cork on the Grand Parade during the Spirit of Christmas fest which brought people from far and wide to visit the open air markets and food stalls on the street.
This the known as the "counting house" of the now closed Beamish and Crawford Brewery which has been transformed into a Santa Village for the season. The house itself is a Tudor style and really lends itself to the Christmas theme I think as it is like something from the Dickens era! Admission to the "village" is 2 euros with free lollipops! and lots of photo ops.!

I've only been to Cork once, but I loved it! Thanks for sharing this- we wanted to go for a bit of Cork Christmas cheer, but snow did not permit- at least now I've gotten another wee taste of it. Hope to go next Christmastime :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, what a shame to miss it as it is certainly a must see,lots of stall holders selling wreaths,mulled wine,mince pies,cupcakes,crepes and lots of other stuff too!
