Equinox Events, the team behind Taste of Dublin and the curators of Christmas at the Castle, are delighted to announce Everwinter — a brand-new event taking place this November–December in the RDS Showgrounds.
Running six days a week, Everwinter will feature a curated Christmas market of Irish makers, a 600 sq m ice rink, Robert Fossett's Christmas Circus, a live music stage with a seasonal mix of choirs, carol singers and buskers, seasonal food and drink, a big wheel and vintage fairground rides.
Covering an outdoor area of over 10,000 sq m, the appetite for a winter experience on this scale is considerable — Everwinter is set to become a must-attend for years to come.

The RDS, an established event space, hosts a number of complementary seasonal events over Everwinter's residency, including the Santa Experience at Elf Town — which attracts over 50,000 visitors — and Gifted, the annual craft and design fair.
Interest in this brand-new market is considerable, and certain criteria will need to be achieved to be selected as a vendor.
Everwinter's goal is to offer a destination Christmas experience with an emphasis on high-quality Irish crafts and edible gifting. On-site food and beverage will be managed by the venue's new in-house caterers, Peppermint / Levy Ireland, focused on European winter classics — open coal cooking, festive sandwiches, raclette and sweet treats.
Pricing available upon application or enquiry to bookings@equinoxevents.ie.
