The Late Late Toy Show is a quintessential Irish Christmas tradition, and for kids and adults alike is one of the most magical festive nights of the year.

The countdown is on, as this year it will be on Friday December 6th, so save the date.

Applications are already open for children who want to be involved by doing a toy demonstration or a performance, but this year, there is a brand new and unique opportunity for 32 children.

In an exciting twist this year, kids from every single county in Ireland will take part in the first-ever Late Late Toy Show County Parade.

All 32 counties will be on screen at once, making this a historic moment – and giving children from every corner of the country a chance to be part of the fun.

Amid preparations for the big event, The Late Late Toy Show producers have said: “We're looking for children who are passionate about their county - it's not about being the best singer or the best dancer - it's about having county pride in buckets."

The deadline for applications is Wednesday October 2nd. So get yours in and make sure to shout loud and proud: “I loves me county!”
