Today we highlight one of those stories: the incredible evolution of Cuskinny Court, the creative force behind the beloved Cork North Pole Outpost Experience.

The Beginning of a Magical Idea

In June 2013, the founders of Cuskinny Court approached TuriTop with a question:

“How can we use our historic family home to create something meaningful... and generate income?”

The house, an elegant period property in the heart of Cork, oozed charm and character. What it needed was purpose.

That conversation gave life to an idea that would soon delight thousands of families across Ireland: the Cork North Pole Outpost Experience.

Launched in December 2013, the event was an instant success, capturing the imagination of children and parents alike. Behind the magic, the challenge was clear: how to manage high seasonal demand while delivering a seamless and magical visitor experience?
