Christmas
Illuminations
Show:Bishop
LuceyPark
Franc (Peter Kelly), from Weddings by Franc, is using his magic
on Bishop Lucey Park to create the “Park of Dreams”, an
illuminated interactive winter wonderland which is full of
Christmas surprises. Don’t be afraid when the main gate of the
park starts to speak and tells you about the history of the park.
Walk along the lit up pathways and explore the atmosphere
within. Visit the Swan Fountain where the swan will tell its own
story and invite children to make a wish. Meet Peter Pan and
Tinkerbelle and make sure to post your letter to Santa in the
magical mail boxes dotted around the park.
