Antrim Castle Gardens will be transformed into a dazzling wonderland once again with the return of the Enchanted Winter Garden this year. You won’t want to miss out on this unforgettable Christmas experience for the whole family, running from Friday 29 November to Saturday 21 December.

  • Reduced capacity meaning a more relaxed/calm environment
  • Lighting will be kept static, with no strobe or strong effects
  • Reduced sound and music levels
  • Sensory and Quiet rooms, ideal for children and adults with additional needs
  • Attractions and rides will be slowed down
  • Mobility Assistance (Mobility Scooters/ Wheelchairs can be hired by appointment only)
  • Santa will have a BSL interpreter alongside him
  • Changing Places Facility onsite as well as a Mobile Changing Places Facility (AccessoLoo)

“A visit to Enchanted Winter Garden has become a cherished tradition for many families across Northern Ireland” says Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Neil Kelly. “We as a Council are committed to inclusivity, ensuring each of our residents can enjoy this magical Christmas experience at Antrim Castle Gardens.”
