Winter Funderland is back with a bang for 2015 in RDS Simmonscourt! In it’s 42nd year, Winter Funderland has become a firm favourite in the Irish Festive Calendar for families and thrill seekers alike.

Over 9 acres of fun filled terrain, with Fossett’s Circus, a giant Ice Skating Rink, a Continental Christmas Crafts and Food Market, a Santa Clause Experience and lots of new thrill seeking attractions, Winter Funderland is not to be missed this year.

Joining all of the ‘old favourite’ attractions, Winter Funderland has added new rides like the Break Dance, the Frisbee and Wave Swinger, along with the Funderland Loop – Ireland’s only looping rollercoaster!

To celebrate the 2015 opening, Winter Funderland and Broadsheet have teamed up to give readers the chance to win two family passes to attend Winter Funderland this year. The family ticket is for 4 people (includes tickets to the circus, ice skating and all day unlimited on rides and attractions). To enter, just complete this sentence.

A few of us came together and made this video for the Simon Community on a voluntary basis. I know it’s the “silly season” and it’s all about feeling good but we would really appreciate it if you could share the video for this worthwhile cause.

A deep bass throbbing got my attention and I tracked it down to the LE Niamh as she entered Dublin past the East Link bridge just now (2:05 pm). Apparently 14 metres shorter than her little sisters the Samuel Beckett and the James Joyce, the Niamh is still one hell of a good looking vessel!

Sexist pig.
