Christmas at Glenarm Castle

About

Step into a world of Christmas magic at Glenarm Castle Estate this festive season, as we return to the heart of what makes Christmas so special.

From meeting Father Christmas and exploring his busy workshop, to listening to stories with Mrs Claus, decorating gingerbread and writing letters to the North Pole, there are Christmas memories waiting to be made at every turn.

Take a ride aboard the Evergreen Express Festive Train, enjoy the traditional carousel and swing boats, and experience the charm of Christmas at one of Northern Ireland’s most historic estates.

And, of course, keep your eyes peeled for a few extra surprises along the way…
