SANTA IN NARNIA RETURNS!!
This Christmas the Saint Patrick Centre in Downpatrick is once again paying tribute to the wonderful legacy of C. S. Lewis by transforming it’s entire exhibition space into scenes from his beloved series of children’s books, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’. Children will be taken on an exciting journey through this mythical land and on the way they will visit the lamp post in the snowy wood, hear extracts of the stories told by characters from the books, cross a frozen waterfall and write their letters to Santa in the cosy Beaver’s Lodge. They will then pass through The White Witch’s Ice Palace, sit on her throne before meeting Santa, Rudolf and their helpers.
ADULTS £6 CHILDREN £12 including Santa visit, gift, Tea or Coffee courtesy of ASDA and photograph. | |
EXHIBITION SCALED DOWN FOR NARNIA

During Santa in Narnia the Main Exhibition will be closed but our new 5 Screen Audio-visual presentation in the Centre Theatre will be open. | |
BOOK EARLY!
Andrew Gibson, the Centre’s Education Officer said “After last year’s overwhelming response with visitors coming from as far as Galway, we are inviting families to travel once again through the magic wardrobe into the land of Narnia! This year will be even better with a new railway scene created in association with Downpatrick Railway Museum and Christmas treats from our sponsor, ASDA Downpatrick. We are already receiving a lot of interest so booking early is advised.”
