Wander through the wintry streets of Ulster decorated for the festive season, from the humble single-room cabin to the indulgent Christmas of the Hughes House. Meet Mrs Mellon and taste traditional Christmas cake or take a horse and carriage ride around the Folk Park (if weather allows).
Children can get hands-on with festive crafts, play with wooden toys, follow the Christmas bauble trail and write a letter to Father Christmas. Visit Mrs Claus' Bakery for warmed apple punch and mince pies, and look out for Captain Mummer’s performance, celebrating one of the oldest Christmas traditions of rural Ulster.
With marshmallows to toast, paper chains to make, and horse and carriage rides, there's plenty of festive family fun.
Stroll down American Street as it comes alive with festive cheer. Enjoy the smells, flavours and decorations that shaped the modern holiday season and find out how European settlers influenced Christmas.
