Santa Sundays Bring Festive Magic to 2Taps — Supporting Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice
Belfast’s favourite festive family tradition is back as Santa Sundays at 2Taps return to bring holiday cheer, delicious food, and heart-warming community spirit to the city. Running each Sunday until 21 December, Santa will make special Sunday visits to 2Taps, giving families the chance to celebrate the season together while supporting a vital local charity.
Every Sunday, children will have the opportunity to meet Santa Claus in person and post their Christmas lists straight to the North Pole using the magical 2Taps Santa Post Box. In a meaningful gesture of festive goodwill, 2Taps has pledged to donate £5 to Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice for every letter posted, helping to support the essential care provided to children and families.
To make the celebrations even more special, children eat free during Santa Sundays (one child per adult), allowing families to enjoy a stress-free festive outing. Parents can relax and indulge in 2Taps full tapas and drinks menu including the renowned Sunday Roast or special Christmas Menu with a Spanish twist, freshly prepared by the restaurant’s talented kitchen team. The cosy festive atmosphere will be enhanced by live music from Joe Kennedy, performing from 2pm to 5pm, creating the perfect backdrop for a joyful family afternoon.
Jarron O’Neill Watson of 2Taps expressed his enthusiasm for this year’s festive programme, highlighting both the joy it brings to families and the importance of supporting local charitable work. He said: “Christmas is such a special time of year for celebrating children, and Santa Sundays are one of our favourite traditions at 2Taps. As parents ourselves, my sister and I wanted to create something truly magical for families while also giving back to a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts. Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice does vital and inspiring work, and we are proud to support them at this time of year.”
The festive initiative is expected to draw families from across Belfast and beyond, with visitors returning year after year to enjoy the warm atmosphere, delicious food, and memorable experiences that 2Taps is known for. From the twinkling lights and festive décor to the excitement on children’s faces as they hand their letters to Santa, the event promises a magical afternoon for all ages.
Santa Sundays aim to bring the community together, offering families a place to create cherished holiday memories while making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s enjoying a comforting Sunday roast, indulging in your favourite tapas, listening to live seasonal tunes, or watching children light up as they meet Santa, 2Taps is set to be one of the most magical places to spend a Sunday this Christmas season.
Santa Sundays are expected to be extremely popular, so book your table today at www.2taps-winebar.com/christmas and keep up to date with 2Taps special menu offerings by following along on social media.
