Experience the Magic of Christmas at Fota House from November 22nd to December 22nd 2025. Join Santa & Mrs Claus at the enchanting Fota House as they prepare for the most magical night of the year.

The Elves are bustling with excitement but, as always, they could use a little help from you to get everything ready in time. Bring your festive cheer and a sprinkle of magic to help the Elves impress Santa and earn the honor of accompanying him on his Christmas Eve journey around the world!

Immerse yourself in a traditional Christmas experience as you explore beautifully decorated rooms, each with its own festive storyline.

Enjoy a special family visit with Santa himself, where he’ll invite children to his North Pole library to choose two age-appropriate books as a gift.
