Interactive map shows location of festive events around Ireland

Eva Osborne

A map of festive events across Ireland will make it easier for those looking to get into the Christmas spirit without travelling too far.

The digital map, launched by Esri Ireland on Friday, will help people navigate what events are on and where.

There are markers for Christmas markets and festivals, light shows, ice-skating, and Santa's Grottos.

The festive map includes a Web App enabling the public to search for events by county and location.
