Let it Glow, let it Glow, let it Glow: Behind the scenes at Cork's Christmas festival

Behind the scenes in Santa’s Workshop, there are a lot more power tools than you might expect. At the studios of Dowtcha Puppets, the street theatre company behind this year’s Glow Christmas experience in Bishop Lucey Park in Cork city, it’s all go.
About 230m of painted fencing, six life-size elf puppets, Santa’s sleigh, and a specially constructed postbox for children to post their letters to the man in red are amongst the props getting the finishing touches in preparation for transport to the park, where the work of assembling the magic of Christmas is about to get under way.
