A delightful experience awaits you each Christmas season at St Martin Apostolate’s premises in 42 Parnell Square, Dublin 1.

The Moving Crib brings us back to simpler times and has fascinated generations of children from Dublin and all over Ireland for more than half a century.

In fact, 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 Christmas experience.

The Moving Crib is a national visitor attraction and has been described in many news and media outlets as ‘the best free show for children over the festive period’, and ‘one of the nicest sights in Dublin’.
Dublin landmark is as captivating today as it was when it first opened its doors.

The only one of its kind built in Ireland, the Moving Crib is a historical and entertaining experience that winds its way downstairs in the stunning Georgian building. Once downstairs, you are greeted with a montage of many historical & fun stories, including Noah’s Ark, Moses, Bethlehem and The Wise Men which are all sure to engage your little ones on the journey through to the Crib itself.

The Moving Crib, the mention of which always evokes a smile and fond memories of Dublin in the ‘rare auld times’ is the only one of its kind built in Ireland (if not the world).
