Santa’s Cabin at the Ilac Centre returns for another festive season (15^th November to 23^rd December 2025 in Dunnes Stores) in the heart of Dublin city. This popular Christmas attraction offers a convenient and magical experience for families looking to meet Santa Claus without leaving the city centre.

Located within the Ilac Shopping Centre, Santa’s Cabin provides a cosy, festive setting where children can enjoy a warm welcome from Santa’s elves before their personal visit with the man himself. Each child receives a small gift, and photo opportunities are available to capture the moment.

The experience is designed to be accessible, family-friendly, and perfectly timed for a festive day out while Christmas shopping. With seasonal music, cheerful decorations, and a central location, it’s a simple yet charming way to celebrate the holidays in Dublin.

The Santa Cabin typically runs throughout December, with pre-booking advised during peak weekends. Whether you’re dropping in during a day in the city or planning a family outing, it’s a festive stop that brings a little North Pole magic to Dublin’s shopping district.
