A Christmas Craic'r

Introducing A Christmas Craic’r, a brand-new Traditional Community Christmas Celebration aimed at bringing our Irish community together for a little taste of a traditional Irish Christmas, right here in the Top End!

We'll bring the craic, the tunes, and the Christmas cheer. You might be missing your Mammy at Christmas, but at NTIA all we are missing is you☘️🎶🎄Get your tickets and come on down.

Tickets and Seating🎟️

Your over ticket provides an allocated seat at a shared table for a turkey and ham buffet lunch served at 3pm.

Please note that children under 12 are free and do not need to be counted within the ticket allocation, unless you wish them to be seated at your table for lunch.

Children under 12 will be seated at a dedicated children's table and will be provided with an alternative children's menu.

Adult guests will be seated at large round tables of 10 people, please purchase tickets as a group if you wish to be seated together with friends or family group.

Traditional Festive Lunch

A traditional Turkey and Ham festive lunch will be served buffet style, followed by a choice of deserts. Community members with food allergens or vegetarians are asking to provide this information at the time of booking,🍗

Visit by Santa Claus

We are hoping that if we can raise enough Christmas Cheer in the room that the big man himself will visit, hopefully he will bring gifts for our under 12's. Please RSVP your children under 12, by clicking the RSVP button & stating their gender and age for registration purposes.🎅

Community Nativity

We're talking big kids, little kids, and everyone in between, we want you and yours to get involved in our interactive performance of the nativity, this short production of the story of the very first Christmas will kick the day off at 2pm sharp. Arrive early to take your seat, if you prefer not to attend the nativity, we suggest you arrive after 2.30pm. If you or yours, do want to get involved, you must be willing to arrive at 1pm for dress up and rehearsal. Everyone in the room is encouraged to sign along with the traditional Christmas Carols, watch out on NTIA Facebook for our casting calls for parts in the nativity.

Music and Entertainment

We couldn't have an Irish Christmas without a bit of music! 🎶our DJ will be playing all your favourite Christmas music and some Irish classics throughout the afternoon. There will be a selection of children's games and activities on offer, and we hope to see the whole Irish family up on the dance floor.

As the day rolls into evening, we'll be singing our way into the season with live Irish music from Conor Cartwright and friends from Enbarr. 🍻🎻

Think of that familiar local pub on Christmas Eve back home, where friends gather, a festive glass is raised, a few songs are sung and everyone gets together to wish each other a Very Happy Christmas. That's the feeling we're hoping to bring to you this Christmas.

Season’s Greetings from all at NTIA
