Dún na Sí to host free Christmas event this weekend

Dún na Sí Amenity Park in Moate will hold a free Christmas event this Saturday, December 9 from 2pm to 5pm.

The event will offer the community an opportunity to come together to celebrate the lighting of the 15ft Christmas tree in the amenity park.

There will be biodegradable decorations available for everyone who wishes to make a Christmas wish which will be placed on the tree. The tree will remain in the Amenity Park for the duration of the Christmas period.

Face painting will take place from 2pm to 4.30pm and there will be a guest appearance from Santa Claus from 4pm to 5pm to chat with the children. Attendees will enjoy live Christmas music from Comhaltas from 4.30pm to 5pm and the Christmas Tree lights will be switched on at 4.30pm.

Complimentary hot chocolate, mulled wine and popcorn will be available while stocks last.
