Glentoran is delighted to announce details of its 2025 Christmas Party, a spectacular evening of festive fun for young fans, families and the wider East Belfast community.

Taking place on Sunday 30th November in the Premier Lounge at The BetMcLean Oval from 6pm to 8.30pm, the event will bring together Glentoran supporters of all ages for a night filled with Christmas magic.

The evening will feature a festive disco, alongside appearances from members of the Glentoran first team, who will join in the fun and meet supporters throughout the evening.

Children can enjoy a mini–Milk Bar, face painting and a Christmas-themed photo backdrop, while parents can make the most of festive drinks promotions available in the bar.

The highlight of the night will see Santa Claus take centre stage and present each child in attendance with a special Christmas gift.

Tickets are limited and priced at £5 per child and are available in advance only from the Milk Bar on matchdays. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Colin Jess, Chairman of Glentoran, said “Our Christmas Party is another fantastic opportunity to bring our supporters and the local community together. Following the success of our Summer Family Day and Halloween celebrations, this event continues our commitment to making Glentoran a welcoming, family-focused club all year round.

“Christmas is a special time, and we want to create moments that young fans and their families will remember. The sense of togetherness that runs through this club is something we’re incredibly proud of and it’s at the heart of everything we do at Glentoran.”

Leanne Dawson, Operations Manager at Glentoran, said: “We’re really excited to host another fantastic fan focused community event at The BetMcLean Oval. After such a great response to our Summer Family Day and Halloween celebrations, it’s wonderful to finish the year with something special for our young supporters and their families.
“The Christmas Party will be a fun and festive evening for everyone, from the disco and face painting to Santa’s visit and our players joining in the celebrations. It’s a lovely way to bring people together and to thank our fans for their incredible support throughout the year.”
