The people at Westport House in Co Mayo really know how to celebrate. They have transformed the 18th century house into a Winter Wonderland with events planned on Friday evenings and weekends right up to Christmas.

There's storytelling and sing-songs by the fireside in the drawing room with Mrs Claus, face painting with a snowwoman, and a chance to paint your own Christmas tree decoration at the Elves' Workshop.

Westport House is also renewing its Christmas Wish Tree tradition this year. Families are invited to send in their wishes. Westport will donate €1 to the Mayo/Roscommon Hospice for each wish. Tickets start at €10. See westporthouse.ie
