Green Santa at Belvedere this Christmas 2010

Following on the success of last year, 2010 will once again see Narnia goes back in time, back to a time when Father Christmas wore Green robes; as in Victorian Times.

 

GREEN SANTA AT BELVEDERE HOUSE

In 2010 Narnia once again goes back in time; back to a time when Father Christmas wore Green robes; as in Victorian Times. Modern day Santa Claus is red because of association with Coca Cola 1930s advertising campaigns and from Thomas Nast s earlier cartoons, but before he was red he was Green.

This year behind the Wardrobe is a completely new experience for Christmas. Green Santa knows his roots and has a message for children everywhere. Christmas is not just about Toys there are other gifts that are far more important. Children will visit Green Santa in his magical grotto after entering another world through the enchanted Narnia Wardrobe and will receive natural gifts. Green Santa will help the children pot up seasonal native Irish trees such as Holly and Scots pine from CRANN which the children can plant in their gardens at home. Wildflower seed shakers for creating magical fairy carpets and old fashioned Victorian Candy Canes are other Green Santa treats.

With the current climate we wanted to provide an exciting different experience for children and at the same time for parents to provide value for money - said Bartle D Arcy Belvedere General Manager.  He added - There is also a better message for the Children that Christmas it is not all about toys that simple things in life can fascinate too.

Green Santa arrives in Narnia at Belvedere on Sunday 28th November at midday and will be there each weekend up to Christmas. 

Bookings begin in October 2010
