One of the most authentic and spectacular Christmas experiences ever…voted the Best Santa in Ireland in 2010! Wicklow’s Historic Gaol has been transformed into a Victorian Streetscape – delighting the children with crafts and story telling and curious Victorian shop windows to peep into….all on their way to see Santa…
With almost 30 stall holders – Christmas at the Gaol Fair showcases some of the most talented artisan craft & food producers in County Wicklow.
A truly unique venue to find that unique gift this Christmas while supporting the local economy!
Admission is Free to this Fair!
The Wicklow Showcase is a display of businesses from Wicklow Town -
shops, restaurants and businesses have come together to promote Wicklow Town.
