Christmas Light Switch On at Slieve Donard

Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, Downs Road, Newcastle, Co. Down, BT33 0AH
Christmas Lights Switch On

About

Sunday 29 November
Arrival from 6.00pm. Lights up at 7.00pm.

Arrive to mulled wine and nibbles with our compliments, then make
your way onto the lawn, where the night unfolds: street-food stalls,
candy floss, popcorn and a local school choir lifting carols into the
winter air (weather permitting). At 7.00pm, the lights come on, and
the hotel takes on its full festive glow. Afterwards, step inside for hot
chocolate and mince pies by the fire.
A free, festive evening for all the family — and the warmest possible
start to Christmas on the Mourne coast.
