Santa Paws At The Strand 2024

Santa Paws is at the The Strand in Lismore on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December from 11am to 12pm on both days! He is travelling all the way from the North Pole and is looking forward to visiting the The Strand which will be transformed into a magical Christmas paradise during his stay!

Access to Strand Paws at the Strand will be on foot from Lismore or you can park nearby the site at Ballyrafter. Entrance will be at the Santa at the Strand booking hut, which is the main entrance to the Santa at the Strand site. There will be no buses running to the Santa Paws event from Lismore.

Pictures can be taken with Santa with your own camera or you can choose to have a photo taken by a professional photographer who will also be present. There is no cap on the number of pets coming with you to visit Santa but they must be kept on a leash at all times. Pets are free of charge.

Just to note, Lismore is a 10 minute walk from the Strand and we recommend that you park there and walk to the Strand if possible. If you want to continue walking after the Santa Paws visit, then why not try out Lady Louisa's Walk, an additional 2km around Lismore, or follow St Declan's Way along the River Blackwater to the Round Hill, returning back to Lismore on the 4km Round Hill loop walk. Dogs should be kept on a lead at all times on these trails.

Santa Paws and Santa at the Strand are run by volunteers from the TWC Community Group, who are raising funds for three charities in 2024. These are St Carthage's Rest Home Lismore, the Day Care Centre in Cappoquin and the Little Blue Heroes (a charity set up by volunteers from An Garda Siochana to help seriously ill children)
