MULTINATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT manager AEG has pulled out of the Winter Wonderland event it had planned to run in Kilmainham, Dublin, over the next four Christmases. The US-based group invested €2 million in the show last year, which included a giant ice rink and a circus, in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, originally planned to run for five years.
Dec’12: The Irish Museum of Modern Art, which is based at the Royal Hospital and which provided the venue, confirmed that AEG has contacted it to say that it will not be going ahead with the next four Winter Wonderland shows.
It is not clear if the museum is going to look for a replacement for the Winter Wonderland event this year.
