2021
2020
Due to CoVID cancelling the 2020 Christmas Market, Strokestown Town Team felt there was a void around Christmas activities in Strokestown, so came up with a novel idea of having “Drive thru Santa Grotto” where children were able to meet Santa Claus himself (he helped everyone observe social distancing protocols).
The event was organised in conjunction with Strokestown Park House and Transition Year students attending Scoil Mhuire secondary school.
Children were able to marvel at Santa’s elves wrapping presents, helping to sort Christmas mail, dancing and singing.
While remaining securely in their car, children were given 10 minutes inside the Grotto and had an unique experience with Santa as he rested safely in his living room, and all chatted with him and Mrs. Claus.
On leaving the Grotto, they received from Santa Claus a selection box, reindeer food and a certificate to confirm they were on the Nice List.
The event was free of charge and was fully booked out within one hour of tickets becoming available.
