Lough Neagh Discovery Centre’s Santa Sunday at Oxford Island proved a magical experience for hundreds of excited children.

Families enjoyed a day filled with Christmas cheer, laughter, and creativity and of course, the opportunity to meet Santa and Mrs Claus who made a special visit all the way from Lapland. Photographer Tony Hendron dropped by and found there was lots of festive fun going on.
