The South Tipperary Arts Centre (STAC) in Nelson Street, Clonmel, will host Santa’s Sensory Grotto on this Saturday December 13.

This event is designed to be a calm, welcoming and comfortable Christmas experience for children (and their adults) who might find the busy festive season a little overwhelming.

Each family will have their own pre-booked time slot, so there’s no waiting in long lines or feeling rushed.

People should let the centre know if there’s anything that they need that will help make the experience feel right for their family when they book.

This event is free. However, advance booking is essential, as places are limited so that every child can have a relaxed, magical moment with Santa.

Each child is booked through 15-minute time slots.

The centre is open from Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-5pm.
