Traditions and Christmas go hand in hand, and we reflected on this last week during the various traditional festive happenings

I’m delighted to introduce you to our bumper seventh edition of Festive Star, which is in shops now!Waterford is a particularly special place at Christmas time - and not just because we are home to Winterval, Ireland’s supreme Christmas festival.

'It is 14 years since I ever made a speech like this, and I'm delighted to be associated with Christmas, Winterval and the Festive Star' - former Senior Cabinet Minister Martin Cullen 

Anticipation is high for this year's festival, especially after Waterford was named European City of Christmas 2024
