The Wicklow Christmas Market is returning for its fifth year and promises to be "bigger and better than ever before".
Located just a few minutes from Wicklow Town and easily reached from Dublin by train, the Christmas Market promises a day of family fun with plenty of activities for both adults and children to enjoy. It will officially open on Saturday, November 19.
The market features Irelands first Eco ice-skating rink, fun fair rides and dozens of stalls selling food, drink, clothing and more. There is also the 'Santa Express', a fun filled train ride run by elves that brings children to visit Santa.

Organiser Ed Horgan told Dublin Live that this year's Christmas market will be its "biggest year" yet with over 40 vendors. "We have a lot of changes after Covid," he said.
"We have traders selling everything from crafts, chutneys, embroidery, hats, Christmas decorations, jumpers and scarves. There's a bit of everything.
"In terms of food, we have pizza, Asian food, churros, waffles and a bar. We also have fire shows a funfair, Santa, alpacas and live music."
With just eight days to go until the grand opening, preparations at the site are currently in full swing. "We have a set-up crew here at the moment, they started last Saturday. They're putting in the ice-rink and all of the huts are in.
"We should be in good-shape by this day next week."
