Every year The Bubblegum Club set up a Grotto for the Real Santa to come and visit.

Each year hundreds of children from the various hospitals around Ireland come to visit Santa.

This year we were at the magnificent Ballinlough Castle, here are some photos (courtesy of Una Williams photography) of the event.

Our recent Winter Wonderland was a great success with mother nature giving us further excitement by sending too much snow resulting in last minute changes to venue and date.  

Unfortunately due to the inclement weather, children from many parts of the country weren’t able to join us.  But Santa and the elves still managed to see over 150 children from six different childrens’ hospitals across Ireland.  

All reports back were fantastic, everyone was amazed as to how Santa knew so much about each of the children! A big thanks to all the supporters and companies that helped make it a huge success including Zurich, Sporting Bet, Dominos Pizza, McDonalds, Kelkin Foods, The Dublin Fire Brigade!
