Step into a frozen dream at Marlay Park as The Magic of Winter unfolds across shimmering forests and mirrored lakes.<\/p>\n

A breathtaking 30-metre hydro screen ripples across the water, surrounded by glowing arctic creatures and illuminated trees.<\/p>\n

Walk through the\u00a020-foot Cathedral Tunnel and spot a 25-foot whale gliding through the water below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fairytales take flight at Malahide Castle, where Once Upon a Glow transforms the historic estate into a world of wonder.<\/p>\n

Enter through the Portal of Light Tunnel, a 70-foot walkway of shifting colours, leading to A Taste of Holland,\u00a0complete with glowing windmills and floating hot air balloons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Wonderlights)
The castle itself becomes a canvas for a spectacular projection show, weaving stories of light, music, and imagination across its iconic towers.<\/p>\n

In Cork, Fota by Night celebrates nature illuminated. Over one million lights and intricate sculptures bring the gardens to life, from a 13-foot hummingbird to a 20-foot storybook that turns its glowing pages under the stars.<\/p>\n

A stunning new projection show brings the transition from winter to spring to life, while a Love Area arch lights up when visitors hold hands, a perfect ending to a heartwarming evening.<\/p>\n

Across all three venues, Wonderlights features 18,000 glowing flowers, 200 fibre-optic jellyfish, and interactive wristbands that sync with the show.<\/p>\n
