Every year, thousands leave Irish shores in search of magical winter experiences, chasing the twinkling markets of the Continent. This year, they finally have a reason to stay home. Everwinter – in partnership with Mastercard – is a brand-new seasonal destination, and opens at the RDS in Ballsbridge on November 25th.
From the team behind the vastly successful Taste of Dublin, Everwinter invites visitors to step into a vintage-inspired festive experience, with a range of seasonal activities in an outdoor space designed around the delight of Dublin’s wintertime.
More than a Christmas market, Everwinter is a place to linger, explore and make memories, bringing the warmth and wonder of the festive season to the heart of Dublin, Everwinter is bound to be an enchanting moment in every Christmas social calendar, whether it’s a catch up with friends, a cosy date night or a day out for all the family.
Everwinter will work with Dublin Simon Community as an official charity partner to help amplify their fundraising efforts for their life-saving homelessness services this Christmas.
