The Santa experience at IMMA has been cancelled because of the current rise in Covid-19 cases.
'Santa in his Magical Garden' was due to open on 26 November and run until 23 December.
The event planners made the announcement today with great regret and promised that all tickets will be refunded automatically through Eventbrite.
A spokeswoman said: "It is with great regret that the decision has been made to cancel this year’s Santa experience at IMMA. The family event and Santa experience was due to take place in the gardens of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham from 26th November to 23rd December.
"With rising cases of Covid 19, the safety of our staff and attendees is paramount. Unfortunately, the uncertainty around the current situation has led us to make the difficult decision to cancel this event for 2021.
"We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in producing this experience to date and we look forward to welcoming Santa and audiences to our Winter Wonderland at the RHK next year."
