Where Fantasy Comes to Life

Discover the beauty of the unseen. The Enchanted Kingdom is a breathtaking, 1km-long, light and sound installation on the grounds of Slane Castle.

Sculptures of glowing ice, flames in forests, and magical creatures of ice and fire will lead you on a surreal journey, where talking trees and living bodies of water come alive before your eyes.

Get ready to witness an ancient castle transformed into a world of pure magic.

The magic awaits!

Fire & Ice

Long ago this Kingdom was forged by two extraordinary guardians. King Emberon, the ruler of fire, whose flames shine with courage and strength, lighting even the darkest nights and Queen Isolde, the queen of ice, whose frost sparkles with calm and beauty, casting a shimmering glow over the land.

Once, fire and ice stood apart. King Emberon’s flames burned so fiercely they scared others away, leaving him alone. Queen Isolde’s frost was so still and silent, her world felt empty and cold.

But Slane Castle called to them both, showing them that their differences weren’t weaknesses, they were strengths and together, they created the Enchanted Kingdom—a place where bravery meets calm, where light and stillness join to create magic, wonder, and joy.

This is a realm where everyone is welcome, just as they are…

So step through the glowing portal into the Enchanted Kingdom where wonders await at every turn and let the adventure begin…

The Experience

This year, Santa has asked us to focus all our efforts on creating the most magical light trail in Ireland, so he won’t be making an appearance. But don’t worry, we’re already working on getting him on the guest list for next year!

The event is an immersive audio-visual experience with a narrated trail. We encourage visitors to take their time at each installation, soaking in the visuals and sounds. There are also some enchanting scenes perfect for photos, and we invite visitors to capture these moments. If you prefer to walk through quickly, the trail could take around 40 minutes. However, to fully enjoy the magic and experience each installation, we recommend allowing 60 to 90 minutes.
The Enchanted Kingdom is an experience suitable for all ages. Children are welcome when accompanied by a responsible adult.

Photography is encouraged in the Enchanted Kingdom, but please refrain from using a flash. It’s the perfect place for enchanting, out-of-this-world shots and we don’t want to diminish the experience for other guests.

You will need good outdoor waterproof shoes or boots for this outdoor trail. We recommend dressing according to the weather that evening. Wear warm waterproof clothing as this is an outdoor experience.

If the Enchanted Kingdom is temporarily closed due to weather warnings or advisories, all ticket holders with cancelled shows will automatically be offered a new time slot on any future date in 2024. If the ticket holder is not able to attend a future timeslot they will need to contact Enchanted Kingdom with the original booking details to request a refund. A member of the Enchanted Kingdom team will respond as soon as possible.

We have grab and go options for all the family from our food trucks including hot drinks, savoury options and sweet treats. You are welcome to arrive up to 30 minutes before your time slot and purchase food and drink before starting the trail.
