Santa Claus at the Cliftonville Christmas Festival

Add a little magic to the festive season with a visit to see Father Christmas in his grotto. He’s been busy all year preparing for the big day, and has pulled out all the stops to bring some Yuletide cheer to The Oval Bandstand.

At The Oval Bandstand & Lawns, we always like to make Santa feel at home and so, as always, the elves have prepared for him a beautiful, cosy tent for his arrival all the way from Lapland!

Santa is very busy and needs to check on his elves and reindeer every night, so ticket sales will end once he has no time left to see any more children.

Please note that ALL children will require a ticket to see Santa.

Babes in arms (under 6 months) do not require a ticket if they are accompanying another child.

There is a small charge to visit Santa Claus and all proceeds will go towards Rethink Mental Illness, Crisis Peer Support.

Santa will be in his grotto at the bandstand from 12:00-4:00pm and you must have a ticket to see him.
