Winter Wonderland

22 November - 4 January 2009, Hyde Park

Whether you're an experienced skater or a complete beginner, the Winter Wonderland open-air ice rink is London's essential winter experience giving a cool 44 days of skating. Whilst the rink remains the focus for skaters and spectators, there are plenty of other attractions around the park for all the family including the ice cafe bars, a giant "ice" slide, a sleigh ride, traditional children's carousel, helter-skelter and rides; and a giant Big Wheel plus lots of festive entertainment and seasonal attractions.

Winter Wonderland will transform Hyde Park into an exciting world of ice and festival fun, providing fun, laughter and excitement for both adults and children. As well as the stunning ice rink, Winter Wonderland includes gentle rides for younger children.

German market

There'll be traditional food and mulled wine and a brilliant German Christmas Fair including authentic arts, crafts, presents and foods from a range of genuine traders making it the ideal place to do some Christmas shopping and enjoy the atmosphere of the Festive season. The bandstand will feature regular carol concerts and, when time allows, even Santa himself is scheduled to make an appearance in the run-up to Christmas.

The site is free to enter with tokens for all rides and attractions available for purchase on the day. Advance booking for the ice rink is strongly recommended throughout the season. Skating is booked in sessions of 1 hour.
