With Christmas fast approaching, here’s why the award-winning Swords Pavilions should be your go-to destination to meet, eat, sip and shop in the coming months…

World-class shopping

When it comes to shopping, nothing beats the freedom of browsing in person, and with over 80 retail units to choose from, you’re bound to find the gifts you need this Christmas at Swords Pavilions.

Treat someone special, or look the part yourself, via a wide-range of international fashion and beauty brands like Foot Locker, Mango, The Perfume Shop, Pandora, Parfois and Rituals. Don’t miss out on the anchor tenants either, with larger-than-usual Zara, H&M, Next, TK Maxx, River Island and JD Sports stores giving you an expansive, unrivalled shopping experience.

Sorting out the food and drink for Christmas can be a hassle, but thanks to Swords Pavilions’ decked out Dunnes Stores and SuperValu locations, you’ll find all the products and ingredients you need at competitive prices, whether you’re sticking to traditional fare or branching out to try something new.

Great dining options

Speaking of food, all that shopping is going to work up an appetite. With 23 delicious dining options, Swords Pavilions is sure to satisfy even the most selective of eaters. Enjoy a sit-down meal at favourites like Nandos, Milano and Ruby’s, or supercharge your shopping spree by grabbing a quick coffee and sweet treat at one of the many coffee shops, including Starbucks, Butlers, Bakers + Baristas and more.

Flexibility

It can be tricky to squeeze in time to shop when your calendar’s packed with Christmas commitments. Luckily, Swords Pavilions offers late-night shopping over the coming months, meaning even those with the most packed of schedules can get their shopping in. Two hours of free parking means you’re saving cash while you’re at it too, a far-cry from the car-unfriendly city centre.

They’re also ahead of the curve when it comes to making sure families are catered to – with baby changing and bottle warming facilities, as well as a dedicated family room and Fun Cars keeping your little ones looked after and entertained.

Amazing Entertainment

Swords Pavilions offers more than just a great selection of shops and restaurants. Looking for a cute date idea or something active to do with the kids? On Ice powered by Yuno Energy, Ireland’s premium skating rink, returns this year, offering a magic, wintery experience.

If gaming is more your thing, then get lost in the world of Zero Latency, which boasts a wide range of virtual reality games. Get your group of friends or join others to battle zombies & rogue AI bots. If you’re looking for a more intellectual challenge, try one of the free roam VR escape rooms – which include a dying space station, a drowning submarine and much more.

It wouldn’t be the Christmas season without a trip to the cinema, especially with such a great selection of films out, from Irish hero Paul Mescal battling it out in the Roman colosseum, to Hollywood superstars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Chris Evans teaming up to save Santa. Movies @ Swords’ eleven screen luxury multiplex cinema is your stop for great-value blockbuster entertainment.
