BROWN Thomas in Cork always has something spectacular in store for their Christmas window display and this year will be no different as the “Irish mythology and folklore window” is unveiled on Friday, November 11th.

Dancers from the Cork Arts Studio will bring the mythology and magic to life by showcasing the Children of Lir story through dance at 5.30pm, followed by the arrival of Prince Charming and Cinderella who will re-create a scene from the pantomime.

The Christmas window displays will also illustrate the stories of Tir na n-Og, The Claddagh Ring and The Faeries Harp.
