This Christmas, The Europe Hotel and Resort will welcome back Bertie Bear and his cousin, Charlie Bear who always come to stay at the five-star hotel for the festive season!

As well as the families getting together, the two cousins like to do something to help others and this year, they have chosen to support Down Syndrome Kerry as the hotel’s annual Christmas charity.

“The debate was a short one as everyone quickly agreed, what Down Syndrome Ireland is doing is very important indeed! commented Charlie Bear. “The world’s home to all kinds of people, everyone of us has our own gift, and we hope that your little donation, will help to give someone a lift.”

Charlie Bear makes for the perfect house guest this Christmas and can be purchased for €25 with all proceeds going to Down Syndrome Kerry. Keep Charlie Bear for yourself or why not give the gift of the cute cuddly teddy bear to a loved ones, family member or friends. Those who purchase a Charlie Bear will also be entered to win an Overnight Stay at The Europe Hotel & Resort for 2 people sharing.

To purchase Charlie Bear & donate to Down Syndrome Kerry visit: The Europe Hotel and Resort (ireshotels.com)

Down Syndrome Kerry is a parent-led voluntary organisation, supporting over 230 families throughout County Kerry and into parts of Cork and Limerick

The Best Dressed Family will win a Christmas in Killarney family visit to Santa 2025 and lunch for the whole family, sponsored by O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Café.
The afternoon will also include free magic shows at 2.30pm and 4.30pm, free face painting, balloon modelling, and a kids’ mini disco.
