Moving Crib

28 November 2024 – 5 January 2025

42 Parnell Square W, Rotunda, Dublin, Ireland

Step into the Christmas Spirit with Dublin’s iconic Moving Crib as it returns for its 68th year of festive magic! From November 28, 2024, to January 5, 2025, this beloved tradition at 42 Parnell Square West invites you to explore beautifully crafted Nativity scenes and enchanting animatronic characters that will captivate visitors of all ages.
The Moving Crib, the mention of which evokes a smile and fond memories of Dublin in the ‘rare auld times’ is the only one of its kind in Ireland (if not the world); it is an historical and entertaining experience. This Dublin landmark is as captivating today as it was when it first opened its doors in 1956 and admission is FREE.
Open daily (excluding Christmas Day, St Stephen’s Day, and New Year’s Day), the Moving Crib is a heartwarming celebration of the holiday spirit.

Adding to the festive fun, the Bray Gospel Choir will perform uplifting carols on December 1st, from 12 PM to 3:30 PM, inviting everyone to join in and create a joyful atmosphere.

Come and make cherished memories this Christmas season!
