Santa’s Island

Each year, as the festive period approaches, Doagh Famine Village is transformed into Donegal’s very own Lapland, SANTA’S ISLAND!

Both children and adults alike can enjoy and participate in the magic of this enchanting, festive experience.

THE EXPERIENCE

All the children will get to meet Santa.

They will also receive a present from Santa after they see him come down the chimney.

Everyone can then walk around the whole of Santa’s Village, see his reindeer, the elves at work and get photos taken with Santa in his workshop.
