Enniscorthy’s popular Santa’s Enchanted Castle family Christmas experience, due to commence on November 21st, has been cancelled.
Cathaoirleach of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council, Cllr Barbara-Anne Murphy said; “No doubt there will be disappointment among local children. When Government restrictions levels are clarified in early December Santa will make sure to conjure up some magic around Enniscorthy before Christmas Eve.”
“It was a tough decision,” said a statement issued this morning on behalf of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council, Enniscorthy & District Chamber, Rathnure Pantomime Society, The Riverside Park Hotel and Treacys Hotel & Suites.
The statement reads; “The current Level 5 restrictions in place until December 1st coupled with the uncertainty around what Level the country will exit at leaves us with no alternative. Live indoor events are not permitted under Level 3 and our show preparations have been severely curtailed over the last month. Safety of our patrons is the ultimate priority.
“We will miss welcoming all our lovely families to Santa’s Enchanted Castle and Enniscorthy town, but rest assured the whole team we will be back, bigger and brighter in 2021.
“All tickets purchased from www.santasenchantedcastle.ie will be refunded in full over the next seven working days. ‘Sleep Over’ package guests with The Riverside Park Hotel and Treacys Hotel & Suites will be contacted by and refunded directly via the booking team at their chosen hotel accommodation.”
