Santa’s Enchanted Magical Tour
Step back in time as we take you and your family on an enchanted, magical tour of Benburb Priory House. The tour will include making a wish at Elf School in the magnificent grand library, and storytelling with the Fairy Godmother. Hush, be very quiet as you sneak past the Elves bedroom, before you meet Mrs Claus in her kitchen to make magic reindeer dust. You’ll be finishing off the tour with a gift from Santa and meeting the Elves in the Workshop. When outside, take a stroll around the grounds, warm yourself by the fire and admire the beauty of Benburb Priory which will be all lit up for Christmas. Don’t forget your camera. Special sensory tours can be booked for Friday 13th December by contacting Connell directly on connell@benburbpriory.com.
