Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is open Friday 18th November 2022 Monday 2nd January

The UK’s most iconic festive event will be making its grand return this Christmas to celebrate its 15th edition in London’s Hyde Park. Opening on Friday 18th November 2022, this year's Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is set to be the most magical one yet as we look back on 15 years of festive fun.

Celebrating the ticket launch on 28th July, Hyde Park Winter Wonderland will be kicking off the year's festivities early with a surprise appearance by Santa Claus in Hyde Park. Morning joggers, commuters and park-goers are in for a surprise as Santa arrives on the iconic Serpentine Pond via pedalo! 

Disembarking ‘on land’ inappropriately dressed for the summer in full Santa get-up, he’ll be joined by an elf assistant. The festive duo will get the word out about Hyde Park Winter Wonderland’s return to passers-by by gifting refreshing ice lollies with a Hyde Park Winter Wonderland twist...mulled wine ’poptails’ and gingerbread ice lollies.

Open daily from 10.00am – 10.00pm, Hyde Park Winter Wonderland will bring back Christmas with a plethora of amazing new and returning attractions, including the UK’s largest outdoor Ice Rink, an exciting new Magical Ice Kingdom, Bar Ice experiences, thrilling Zippos Christmas Circus and Cirque Berserk shows, the Giant Wheel and a bigger Real Ice Slide with an extra lane! From high adrenaline to family favourites, there’s something for everyone at this year's Hyde Park Winter Wonderland.

Six brand new attractions welcome the 2022 opening to ensure fun for the whole family. Here’s a sneak peak of some of the activities which all aim to entertain at great value prices:

• Rides that are sure to give customers a thrill include the Aeronaut Starflyer, which is the world’s largest transportable Starflyer, the brand-new Après-ski Party Funhouse, The Time Machine, Canadian Mountie Funhouse, the unique Discovery plus the return of Dr Archibald with a new immersive VR experience.
