This year The Moving Crib will be 64 years old! It has been a key feature of Christmas in Dublin for so long that parents and grandparents, who visited The Moving Crib as children, are now bringing their children and grandchildren to enjoy and re-live this amazing Christmas experience. Things will be slightly different due to the COVID 19 Pandemic and the health and safety of our visitors and staff is our top priority. This Dublin landmark is as captivating today as it was when it first opened its doors in 1956.

Bosco is Bosco, not a boy, not a girl, just a Bosco: a cheeky, lovely, funny, slightly-cracked, irrepressible, eternal five-year-old who lives in a box and who loves nothing more than to just be Bosco and meet all the boys and girls. After starring on Irish TV for three decades, you’ll see why Bosco remains a firm favourite for each new generation. Enjoy the enchanted story of Hansel and Gretel where a silly Witch try’s to capture Hansel and Gretel but they prove to cleaver for her.
