Santa’s Grotto at EPIC 2023
Santa’s Grotto at EPIC will not take place in 2023
It’s with regret that they are unable to go ahead with Santa’s Grotto this Christmas at EPIC. They have enjoyed welcoming hundreds of families in the past few years and it has always been an event they look forward to every year.
As they continue to deliver a world-class experience for all their visitors, they have to carry out a number of upgrades within the museum which means that they will not be able to go ahead with it this year. They are sorry to all our previous Santa’s Grotto visitors who may have been planning a visit this year and they would like to thank everyone who has been involved in producing the experience to date.
They hope that you will still visit them over the festive period – check out their social media channels and website for all other upcoming events.
Venue:- EPIC – The Irish Emigration Museum, Custom House Quay, Co. Dublin
