Pinocchio at dlr Mill Theatre

At dlr Mill Theatre · Dundrum Town Centre, Dundrum, Dublin 16

A wooden puppet character on stage in a Christmas production

Mill Productions, the dlr Mill Theatre’s in-house company, stages a Christmas production of Pinocchio in Dundrum from 3 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, written and directed by Geoff O’Keeffe. It suits families looking for a local alternative to the big city-centre pantomimes, with a run long enough to fit around school holidays and family visits.

What to expect

The show tells the classic story of a wooden puppet’s journey to becoming a real boy, staged as what the theatre describes as an enchanting journey filled with wonder, mischief and heart. It is a full Mill Productions in-house show rather than a touring production, giving it the same production values the company brings to its other main-stage work through the year. The show is recommended for ages six and up, putting it toward younger family audiences alongside older siblings and parents. Running over a full month including the Christmas and New Year period, it offers a mix of daytime and evening performances to suit school-age children, with exact showtimes varying by date across the run. Tickets start from €20, with the Mill Theatre’s usual family and group pricing options likely to apply across the longer run.

Getting there

The dlr Mill Theatre is inside Dundrum Town Centre, Dundrum, Dublin 16, directly served by the Luas Green Line’s Dundrum stop. Dublin Bus routes also serve Dundrum, and the Town Centre has extensive multi-storey parking.

While you’re in Dundrum

A trip to Pinocchio pairs naturally with Dundrum Town Centre’s Christmas shopping and lights, and Dundrum village is a short walk away for food afterwards. There is more to see across Co. Dublin.
