SOLAS Eco Garden Centre in Portarlington really has set the standard for shopping and entertainment this Christmas with a magical combination of events over the Christmas season including:
- Christmas Craft Markets on their purpose built ‘Container-street’ which hosts up to 35 different stall holders on every Thursday & Friday (5-9pm) and Sunday (11-4pm) up to Christmas
- Santa will also present to coincide with the Christmas and Farmers markets in his purpose-built grotto, North pole forest and his friendly Alpha the Lama and ‘Sean the Sheep’ to keep the kids entertained. The price of €10 a child is a hugely popular with the public
- Food & Drink: Visitors will have the choice of drinking Hot chocolate under the Heaters of our Food court or choosing to eat in the 60-seater indoor café which will be open during the shopping event.
The presence of SOLAS has really given a focal point for the whole of Laois for a place to come and enjoy the Christmas season in a beautiful, unique and artistic space.
This Christmas season will see over 180 different craft and food artisans exhibit their wares at SOLAS and it really wonderful to have such a venue to showcase the talent in our region of Ireland.
In the space of only 18 months SOLAS has gone from a concept to being an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of the Midlands.
