Glow takes over Cork's Bishop Lucey Park as Santa’s elves lead the Christmas build up

The wheel is up, the markets are open, and Bishop Lucey Park is positively dripping in fairy lights.

Cork City has, once again, been transformed into a winter wonderland courtesy of the annual Glow festival, attracting little elves and angels, and their parents, from far and wide.

“I think it’s fabulous. The snow machine makes it very real and the lights are lovely. It’s brilliant to have a place like this at Christmas for the kids. It’s great, they love it,” said Michelle Murphy from Mahon who was one of the first parents through the gates this year.
