The Slieve Donard resort & spa is definitely a beautiful sight during the 10 days of the year when Santa’s polar express stops in town, especially when the nearby Mourne mountains are blanketed in snow as they are during the winter months. This Polar Express is a wonderful way to get into the Christmas mood before the holiday season begins.
Take a ride on this magical train that takes you through Santa’s workshop and Winter Wonderland. Classic movies and letter-writing, as well as Christmas stalls scattered throughout the journey, all contribute to the festive atmosphere. Also included is a visit from the cheerful Saint Nicholas himself, who will hand out gifts and take customised pictures with children at the end of the day.
