FESTIVE CHECK-IN FOR POLAR EXPRESS AT CULLLODEN ESTATE
DUE to overwhelming demand from families across Northern Ireland for Polar Express at the Slieve Donard Resort & Spa over the last five years, Hastings Hotels has announced that the popular festive event will also take place at the Culloden Estate & Spa in the lead up to Christmas.
The Polar Express is a fun festive occasion with a host of attractions for all the family, including a winter wonderland, story-telling with Mrs Claus and the Polar Express train adventure which will take guests on a magical journey to visit Santa and his elves in their busy workshop as they prepare for their busiest time of the year.
The much-loved Christmas event will take place at the Culloden Estate & Spa from Tuesday 19th November – Saturday 23rd November and at the Slieve Donard Resort & Spa from Saturday 14th – Sunday 22nd December. Booking is essential and early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Julie Hastings, Marketing Director of Hastings Hotels said: “We are looking forward to welcoming Polar Express to the Culloden Estate & Spa in November before its annual visit to the Slieve Donard Resort in December. Families from across Northern Ireland have been visiting Polar Express at the Slieve Donard for the last five years and we are delighted to be able to give more children the chance to visit this exciting Christmas experience by running it at the two hotels over the festive season.
It’s a magical event that gives families the chance to make special festive memories with lots to keep everyone entertained from movies and letter writing, to Christmas stalls and face painting before hopping on board the train to meet Santa and his Elves with gifts for the children and a personal photo.”
Both hotels will also be offering a fabulous selection of festive dining options including Santa’s Buffet and Afternoon Tea.
