    Fort Lucan had a godd Santa's Grotto thing set up last year which was good. Bring the kids through different Elf workshops and bits and then so Santa at the end. Thought it was pretty well done.

    Not sure if its a goer again this year

    Have heard from a few different people that the DSPCA have a great santa and tour with all the animals around. A few I know go every year and say it's brilliant but you have to book in advance... Voted best santa 2009 apparently:D Might go myself now after that, never too old right!

    me to,

    my late grandad was the head of security there for a few years, and when we went in to see the santa, he knew who we where, and was able to say, "ah yes, Michael is your grandad"

    you can imagine the pure awe by me and my brother :D

    it still puts a smile on my face :)
