The River
Barrow is Ireland's second longest river, next to the Shannon. Unlike the
Shannon however, the Barrow remains largely unchanged. Used for millennia
for transport, it was made navigable for larger boats in the late 1700s
and served as a working waterway until recent times.

SANTA'S SOUTH POLE
VILLAGE
at Athy Heritage Centre
8th to 21st December
Santa South Pole Village
Just a little about the Santa South Pole
Village which bring alive the festive spirit of the public and touches the
imagination of every child that enters it.
They
enter through a lighted tunnel guided by an Elf who leads them to our
Nativity Scene when the child hears the story of Christmas and gets to
make a wish at our Special Wishing Tree. They then enter our Arctic Scene,
where they name the husky and start their journey to reach the South Pole.
After their adventures they enter our village scene with treats and
sweets galore, beep the horn of Elf’s car before entering Mrs. Clause’s
house, who is busy making the reindeer dust and tell children stories.
Our naughty and nice Post Office will make sure that special letter gets
to the North Pole and then its on to see Santa and get their very special
present.
Opening times are Dec
