Santa Claus has once again found the time in his busy schedule to set up shop at Donegal Railway Museum over the weekends of 11th-13th and 18th-20th December 2026, and we invite you to come along to see him before his busy day!

This is a great experience for kids and families, and over the years it has become one of the area’s best-loved seasonal events. Solve Christmas puzzles; do some arts and crafts; see our steam engine Drumboe up close; take a ride on the Polar Express to see Santa, Mrs Claus, and their workshop elves; and of course receive a pre-Christmas gift from the man himself. Our museum will be transformed into a winter wonderland, with loads to see and do on the day – we ho-ho-hope to see you there!

Please note that Friday 11th December is our special Sensory Evening for children and young adults with additional needs. This event includes appropriate lighting/noise adjustments and longer timeslots to ensure that all are accommodated and can enjoy a magical Santa experience! Please provide information on your requirements when checking out online, or feel free to give us a call on 074 9722655 to plan your visit.
