TwinkleTown Dublin

TwinkleTown transforms Smithfield Square into Dublin's most ambitious Christmas destination, combining festive entertainment with cultural performances in partnership with Dublin City Council. This brand-new Christmas experience features a super-size ice rink perfect for date nights and family outings, alongside a vintage-themed fairground complete with carousel rides and an iconic Ferris wheel offering panoramic views of the illuminated square. The heart of TwinkleTown is the historic Spiegeltent, a one-of-a-kind festive venue showcasing local Irish talent through music, theatre, and cultural performances throughout the season. Families will delight in Santo Panto and the Magic Present Machine, a high-energy 20-minute live show where every child receives a gift from Santa himself. Browse the twinkling Christmas market stalls for handmade gifts, festive treats, and seasonal decorations, then warm up at the cozy Twinkle Tavern with winter cocktails and hot drinks in an Alpine-style setting. The market features enchanting light installations and beautiful visual creations that create a magical atmosphere as evening falls. With free entry to the grounds and ticketed attractions available for pre-booking, TwinkleTown offers flexibility for visitors to customize their experience. Book Santo Panto first, then schedule your ice rink session one hour later for the perfect festive day out.
