    Looking to do something christmasy but without kids.

    Was at fota years ago with my nieces but not sure if I’d go without kids. What’s it like down there this year?
    How about Rumleys? I see you can go there without going to Santa.

    Could go to glow but you’d walk around there in a few minutes.
    Anyone been to improv panto?

    Any ideas?

    Go on the ferris wheel too! You get some great views over the city. And there are food stalls, so you can get a bite to eat while you stroll across town.

    You probably think you'd get around glow in a few minutes, but in my experience doing things as a couple takes a lot longer. If you want to stretch it out a bit, you could stroll around the English market beforehand, and/or go to the Woodford for a bite afterwards. It's actually really nice being in the city at Christmas time.

    ...at least when there isn't a major storm passing through....

    Might be a bit late but if your willing to leave Cork then Bunratty Castle and Folk Park is lovely at Christmas. You can pay the normal entrance fee and enjoy all the Christmas experiences along with the park and castle. The only thing you won't be able to do without a booking is visit santa =)

    Fota (Beyond) has a small market set up in the car park, anyone can wobble in for a pizza/sausage/coffee/waffle and soak up the atmosphere.

    There's carol singing in the airport most mornings this week I think.
    Have a coffee and a cake in the warm kinsale cafe whilst listening to them.
