TwinkleTown returns to Dublin with festive sites at Smithfield and St Patrick’s Park

Dublin will host two new TwinkleTown Christmas attractions in 2026, set up in partnership with Dublin City Council.

Smithfield Square will open on 20 November and run until 31 December, featuring a covered ice‑skating rink, a Big Wheel, a vintage funfair, Santo Panto, festive food stalls and the TwinkleTavern. Entry is free, although some attractions will require tickets.

St Patrick’s Park will welcome visitors from 27 November to 23 December, offering dazzling light displays, Christmas‑themed rides and live choir performances, also with free entry and ticketed attractions.

Both sites will provide accessibility‑friendly experiences. Further details and ticket information are available on the TwinkleTown website.
