It’s the quintessential, London Christmas activity we’ve all been waiting for.

So whether your ultimate festive outing involves thrilling rides, seasonal food and drink, stellar entertainment or all of the above – you’ll find it, along with bucket loads of Christmas spirit at Winter Wonderland.
Sculpt and skate
Set around a gorgeous Victorian bandstand, the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland ice rink, Lidl on Ice, is the largest open-air rink in the UK. Need we say more? And after you’ve skated to your heart’s content, you can create your own stunning ice sculpture with help from the UK’s finest ice artists in the sculpture studio. You’ll even get free entry into the Magical Ice Kingdom included with your session!
Make your way through the Magical Ice Kingdom
It is categorically impossible to step inside the Magical Ice Kingdom and not feel utterly overcome with Christmassy vibes. Crafted by expert sculptors using over 500 tonnes of snow and ice, this mythical frozen world takes visitors on an immersive journey through Norse mythology. Explore the Viking Ice Village, the Lands of Giants, Fire and admire fantastical, towering sculptures along the way.
Round off your ice-themed escapades with a frosty refreshment
Quite literally the coolest cocktail spot in the city, Bar Ice brings a little slice of Apres-ski to Hyde Park. Included in your entry is one cocktail, with plenty more alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available to purchase inside. Chill inside the ice caverns, enjoy the sounds of a live DJ and sip delicious drinks from carved ice glasses. And don’t worry, you’ll even be given a cosy winter cloak and gloves, courtesy of Regatta, to keep your mitts warm!
Enjoy shopping and seasonal treats at the Christmas markets
When the sights and smells of Christmas food and drink inevitably grabs your attention, make your way to the traditional wooden markets. Across 100 stalls you’ll find an abundance of gifts, decorations and irresistible culinary delights.
Watch an award-winning circus performance
Returning for their 11th year, to say that Cirque Berserk are on a roll would be a bit of an understatement. Throughout this 45 minute show you can expect adrenaline-fuelled stunts and breathtaking circus acts, including the legendary motorcycle Globe of Death. Don’t miss your chance to see this award-winning, multi-talented troupe this Christmas!
