Here at the Square we will be running a spectacular 12 Days of Christmas event, from the 13th December right up to the 24th! Each day we will have something exciting and magical for the family and as always they will all be completely free.

We kick off festivities with the focus on creating your very own Advent calendar which will help with counting down the days till Santa arrives. Next we are off to the workshop showing you how to create a range of adorable Christmas puppets or how about a Christmas cracker?

Day four will see the arrival of our Magic Christmas Elf, a very special guest who joins us all the way from the North Pole, drop in and say hello and he will share all his Christmas secrets with you! If that wasn’t enough we will all be participating in the Square dance off, then we focus back on more creativity as we work on our Christmas mobiles.

Day seven will see plenty of excitement here at the Square as we receive a visit from Mrs Claus herself who will arrive with a feast of all things chocolate, chocolate fountain, logs, marshmallows, and lots lots more. Next we will focus on our Christmas wrap featuring DJ, and it has nothing to do with musical rapping!

How about making your very own Christmas stocking? Or Christmas cards? Day eleven see us focus on our Christmas Cookie Workshop, bring your imagination, we will have everything else, cookies, chocolate drops, marshmallows and smarties.

Finally day twelve will see you working on your very own Christmas apron! Which will be decorated completely by you.

We really do have something for the whole family this Christmas. It’s a magical time of the year so don’t forget to come and join in on all our free family events here at the Square! We’ll have the full day by day breakdown in our next edition or check www.thesquare.ie/ourevents/
