Events

Here at the Ulster American Folk Park, Father Christmas and Mrs Claus are toasting their toes by the turf fire ahead of your visit, all before they pack up the sleigh for Christmas!

The North Pole elves are busy getting things ready and spreading festive cheer wherever they go. Did you know that only children who truly believe in Christmas magic can see the elves? They aren’t so fond of grown-ups!

Take in the magic of Christmas with a stroll through the snowy streets of Ulster and America. Let one of our elves guide you to the magical home of Father Christmas and Mrs Claus to say hello, and if you’ve made it on the good list you might even receive a special, traditional gift to bring home!

While you’re here, meet the Chief Story Elf for Christmas storytelling and fill up on Christmas shortbread and mulled spiced apple juice!
