Walking With The Snowman™
Description
Experience the magic of Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman™ at Hillsborough Castle this festive season.
The beloved The Snowman™ is brought to life in a trail around the stunning gardens, from 18 November until 07 January.
Wrap up warm, bring your family and friends, and get ready for a heart-warming festive adventure. There are 12 giant The Snowman™ sculptures to discover, each beautifully hand painted by a different artist and inspired by the timeless Christmas classic '12 Days of Christmas'. Can you find them all?
Along your way, you may also discover a special garden play trail, a royal walled garden and meandering waterways, along with plenty of space to explore and play. If you’re lucky enough to visit on a snowy day, have a go at making your own snowman! Finish off all that the exploring with a warming hot chocolate and festive treat from the café.
On select days, you can also see The Snowman™ in special screenings of the iconic animated film. Cosy up with your family and watch the beloved original animation on weekends in December, and every day 27-31 December.
Just off the A1 and only 20 minutes from Belfast, don’t miss out on this unforgettable Christmas treat that’s perfect for families and will be cherished by fans of all ages. Pre-book now.
