About

After 20 magical years of the Glenarm Castle Christmas Experience we are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter –Christmas Glenarm Castle.

For over two decades, Glenarm Castle has been at the heart of creating high-quality, much-loved family events, and this year we are reimagining our famous Christmas celebration like never before.

Step back in time to a Victorian winter and journey into The Kingdom of Dalriada… Beyond its secret gates, elves will welcome you into their enchanting world. Follow the whispers of a mysterious Seed as it guides you toward the true heart of Christmas.

Meet Father Christmas himself, who will awaken the magic within you.

Complete your adventure aboard the festive train to the destination, where kindness, joy, and the spirit of Christmas truly bloom.

We’re also excited to announce a brand-new creative partnership with Peter Corry productions, one of Northern Ireland’s leading theatrical and entertainment companies. With over 25 years of experience producing world-class shows, events, and immersive experiences across the UK and beyond, Peter Corry and his team bring their signature creativity, storytelling, and theatrical magic to Glenarm Castle this Christmas.

In addition, we’re partnering with Ever Unique Productions, an educational theatre company based between Causeway Coast & Glens and Mid & East Antrim. Ever Unique was founded in 2020 and works across the community, from full scale productions and events to tailored outreach projects. Their cast of vibrant characters will be on hand to guide you through the enchanting Kingdom of Dalriada, where something exciting is waiting around every corner.

With the trusted experience of Glenarm Castle and our exciting new collaborations, Christmas at Glenarm castle promises to be the most magical adventure yet.
