Some of East Corks top musical talent comes together on the night to present an uplifting program of music in the heavenly acoustics of Holy Trinity.

The animated Crib at St. Raphael's Centre Youghal
The staff who work at the centre have dedicated many hours on the decorating of The Nativity scene for the adoration of the birth of Jesus by the people of the town. Youghal people in times past fondly remember praying at the crib and taken a strand of straw from the Manger as a memento of this most Holiest occasion on the birth of Jesus. Many churches leave the manger empty (without the baby Jesus) until Christmas Day to reflect that Jesus has not yet been born before then.

Santa’s horse and carriage will stand in his wait before taking him and the lucky winner of the school’s colouring competition to The Mall Arts Centre for an afternoon of free fun, which is open to the public.
Kids of all ages will enjoy the festivities from 2.15- 4.30 pm with a ‘free Santa visit’ and photograph, face-painting, mingling with the cast of Aladdin, while also being in with a chance to win a family pass to see the show! Making a special appearance in Youghal this year will be ‘Tricky Trevor’ with ‘Scamp’ the puppet dog. The afternoon will also see Trevor perform some amazing balloon wizardry!
Mums and Dads are catered for as they sip over warmed mulled wine and tuck into mince pies to the sounds of the Youth Choir and the nationally acclaimed Youghal Choir throughout the afternoon.
At 4.30 pm join Santa as he leads Youghal’s very own Pipe Band on their march to Market Square for the official turning on of Youghal’s Christmas Lights.
Speaking about the event, organiser Clodagh Mahon thanked all those who assisted in making the event possible. “With so much doom and gloom about, we wanted to ensure that this day was extra special for the families of Youghal. The many sponsors of the event allowed us to undertake an entirely free event, really demonstrating the community Christmas spirit in the town. We are expecting a large turn-out which will only add to the atmosphere on the day.”
