SANTA CLAUS will be branching out on Thursday, December 1, when he pays a visit to The Brehon Hotel.

The man in red will be guest of honour at the hotel’s Christmas tree party in aid of the Society of St Vincent de Paul.

The team at the hotel is currently putting the finishing touches to the magnificent 30-foot-tall Christmas tree. Santa Claus will set aside time in his busy schedule to visit The Brehon for the party at 5pm when he will turn on the Christmas lights.

“Children big and small are invited to attend The Brehon Christmas tree party to meet Santa and to see the giant tree,” said a spokesperson for The Brehon. “The Gleneagle Concert Band and The Presentation School Choir will perform all your favourite Christmas carols and tunes. There will be tasty treats, hot chocolate, mulled wine for Mom and Dad and lots of surprises in store.”

The Brehon Christmas Tree party is organised in aid of St Vincent De Paul and anyone who wishes to donate to this worthy cause can bring new or unused toys to The Brehon on December 1 or make a cash donation on the day.

For further information contact The Brehon on 064-6630700.
