The Railway Christmas Market team are grateful to Aisling Coleman and Mullingar Chamber, Westmeath County Council, Westmeath Arts, Mullingar Town Band, Mullingar Arts Centre, Lift Hire Mullingar, Annebrook House Hotel, Buckley’s SuperValu, Cleary Electrical, Value Centre, Specsavers, Wines Direct, Nissan Opel Mullingar, Fagan Toymaster, Slanemore Farm and Nursery for their generous support for the Market and in particular for all of the charities who have benefited from Santa’s Grotto, raffle and donations.
Even the doggies had some fun and had a photo taken with Santa. Thank you to Darina Golden for looking after that and supporting a local dog charity.
Santa has been busy the last few weeks. Thank you to the volunteers for putting on the red suit and creating a magical experience for all who visited Santa’s Grotto. Santa was assisted by elves from Mullingar Town Band.
What is Christmas without music, singing and dancing? Entertainment was provided by Aisling Gaudet Song Club, The Sneaky Tequilas, Enda Cassidy, John Smith, Danny Murray, Rose Carey of Celtic Blondes, Sweet Tunes, Mullingar Town Band and Emerald Lake Academy of Irish Dance.
Next weekend visitors can look forward to seeing Energy Plus School of Dance, Elevate Dance, Enda Cassidy and Mullingar’s answer to Michael Bublé, John Smith.
Once again, the crew invite everyone to go along and enjoy the Christmas spirit and support The Railway Christmas Market Mullingar, along with the many stall holders who have travelled from far and near with their varied crafts and creations. Visitors are supporting small local and Irish businesses, young entrepreneurs and charity.
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas from The Railway Christmas Market stall-holders.
