Winter Wonderland Outdoor Ice Skating:
Saturday, 21st November 2009 to Sunday, 3rd January 2010 Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, London's largest and most dazzling winter event returns to the heart of the Capital for six whole weeks of festive fun. With no admission fee, Winter Wonderland offers a whole day-out from 10am to 10pm with beautifully themed attractions set out under thousands of twinkly lights.
With over 1.5 million visitors to date, Winter Wonderland introduces even more rides, attractions & games never before seen in the UK, spread across Hyde Park's historic parkland. Once again the event features London's largest Ice Rink, and the iconic 50m Observation Wheel, with 40 heated pods offering truly spectacular views across the city. Winter Wonderland also boasts the most atmospheric German Xmas Market in the country, with over 60 individual Tyrolean-style chalets selling unique & quirky gifts, overlooked by central London's only Rollercoaster.
New for 2009, visitors can enjoy Zippo's Christmas Circus in its very own heated big top with a show especially created for Winter Wonderland. A free Father Christmas will be welcoming children with a surprise gift. Winter Wonderland has also been nominated for 'Consumer Event of the Year' at the Visit London Awards 2009.
Fantastic food and drink contributes to making Winter Wonderland such a phenomenal success. Bratwurst sausages & continental beer, steaks & Gluwein are amongst the offerings in the Bavarian Village, the House of St Nicholas and the two-storey Café Grell. Amongst the other heated cafés and bars are culinary delights closer to home by way of hog-roasts, pies, hot cider & real ale. And Winter Wonderland would not be complete without beautifully themed 'Candy Castles' selling gingerbread hearts, roasted nuts, crepes & Christmas stollen. Celebrities and their families including the Beckhams, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman, Chris Martin, Uma Thurman, Gwen Steffani, and Girls Aloud have all experienced the fairytale magic of Winter Wonderland. Who will be spotted this year?
