WATCH: Look who came to Kilkenny city - Santa in his big truck!

SANTA TRUCK IN AID OF LARALYNN’S CHILDRENS HOSPICE AS PART OF KILKENNY YULEFEST

Santa and Mrs Claus arrived in Kilkenny in style last night. Crowds folked to say hello at the unique Christmas experience as the lit-up Santa truck drove past to reach its final stop on The Parade, beside the Yulefest Christmas Market. Children were thrilled to be able to come aboard the truck and see Santa’s Grotto.

On board the Santa Truck

On the night Santa’s helpers were taking donations for the LauraLynn Hospice. The Santa Truck has been on the road supporting LauraLynn Children's Hospice for the 3rd year running. Since 2021, they have raised a whopping €74,000 and hope to raise even more this year... with your help!
