Kildare Village Retail Outlet has officially launched Christmas, transforming the Village into ‘a magical destination filled with seasonal experiences, family moments and exceptional gifting inspiration’.
The first main staple will be The Makers' Market, which will offer guests artisan products, festive treats and unique gift ideas from local makers throughout the season.
Designed as a warm and inviting festive hub, it aims to host host weekend experiences, live entertainment and seasonal activations, all while supporting charity partner Barretstown.
Another main staple will be Kildare Village's Advent Calendar, which will launch on December 1, 2026.
Integrated into the Makers' Market experience, the activation encourages guests to explore the retail outlet through an interactive scan-and-win mechanic, with daily prizes from beloved brands worth a minimum value of €300 available throughout the festive period.
In addition, families visiting Kildare Village can also experience the return of Letters to Santa, which is an installation where children can write and post their Christmas wishes.
