Santa at Sheans
Everyone here at Sheans is delighted that Santa has granted them a licence to operate his Official Post Office in Ireland for 2019.
Santa says that because of the excellent runway on the top of the mountain beside the Post Office, he and his Elves can actually save a lot of time by just collecting the little boys’ and girls’ letters in Northern Ireland’s Lapland at this busy time
When you arrive at Sheans to visit Santa:
- Explore the indoor magical forest and call in to the village square on the edge of the forest where, over an open fire, the elves will roast you some marshmallows and offer you some of their tasty treats
- MRS CLAUS will welcome you into her kitchen and help you write your letter to SANTA
- From outside Mrs Claus’s kitchen you will be able to look up and see SANTA’S RUNWAY half a mile away, all lit up on the hillside beside the ELVES’ POST OFFICE
- You will then take your letters and catch the SANTA EXPRESS BUS up to the REINDEERS RUNNWAY beside the ELVES’ MOUNTAIN TOP POST OFFICE
- En route to the POST OFFICE you have to stop at the foot of the mountain to request clearance from Air Traffic Control to drive across SANTA’S RUNWAY so as to get to the post office. (Just in case Santa and his elves are landing at that time to collect the letters!)
- At the ELVES’ POST OFFICE you stamp your letter, post it to the North Pole and leave off some food for the reindeers who will be arriving later that night
- You will see THE REINDEER PEN where SANTA’S REINDEERS rest while he and the elves collect all the children’s letters each night after 12 O’clock
- Hop back on to the SANTA EXPRESS BUS which will take you back down to THE STABLES and see the large Nativity scene with the manger and all of the animals
- Next door, make up some special reindeer food to take home for Christmas Eve to leave out for the reindeers on that busy night
- COLOUR IN your picture to give to SANTA. (Chief Elf picks winner each night for a Sheans Horse Riding Voucher)
- SANTA will be waiting in his GROTTO to see you, give you a present and hear how well behaved you will be in the run up to Christmas
- Everybody is welcome to take your own photos with Santa in the grotto
- After your visit to Santa, you will be greeted with mulled wine/juice and mince pies/cookies in THE LOFT TEA ROOM above the stables which looks down on to the Elves’ village in the magical forest
