After 24 months away, he is bursting at the seams with Christmas cheer, and cannot wait for an in-person meeting with the children of Waterford. Santa’s sidekick Bernard The Head Elf, and his team, are making the long journey from the North Pole to The Old Sorting Office in Waterford, as part of the Winterval festival. The party starts Friday 19th November, when you and yours will be invited for a
n in-person visit with The Man in the Big Red Suit. Every child will be gifted a beautiful book, “Oiche Nollag” written by Irish author Emma-Jean Leeson. The whole family can then jump in for a photo with Santa, taken by one of his Elves. The Elves will be working feverishly to have your photo ready within minutes. They can even print it onto your own custom snow globe or Christmas tree ornament! While you wait for your photo, chill out in our Yuletide Café and enjoy some delicious hot chocolate and festive treats. Have you written your letter to Saint Nick yet? Children can get creative at our letter-writing station, and pop it into the VIP Post Box; the Reindeer Express guarantees 100% on time delivery (or your carrot back)! Whether it’s “Santy” or “Santa”, it has to be VIPSanta.ie @ Winterval.
