Step inside the the largest indoor Christmas Theme Park in the UK and be filled with delight and wonder at the 50 family rides and attractions, all under the same roof, running now until Sunday 2 January.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas on the awesome rides: the darting Dodgems, the adrenalin-inducing family roller coasters, the dizzying waltzer and lots of other awesome children’s rides. Test your gaming skills at the fantastic game stalls dotted around the Winter Wonderland.

After some extreme exhilaration, you can sit back and relax at the spectacular shows – the Daisy & Ollie Show, Ice Princess, the Wizard of Oz Mini Panto and the Christmas Meltdown. Next up, be mesmerised by the breathtaking Christmas Circus, for people of all ages. Young Jedi’s, put your Jedi robes on underneath your winter clothes and prepare to build your strength and find the force to fight the dark side at the Jedi Training Camps, led by a real Jedi Master.

Finally, Christmas wouldn’t be a Christmas without Father Christmas’s presence (and presents!). Until 24 December the jolly man in red has taken some time out of his busy schedule to visit Silcock’s Winter Wonderland at EventCity and meet you! And after meeting the big guy, you can get a special toy and photograph from the Toy Workshop, with a voucher obtained at the Elf Shed during your Winter Wonderland Visit.

After all this fun, your stomach will surely be rumbling for some tasty grub! There will be a variety of delicious foods available across the site, so prepare to have your taste buds tantalised with a variety of food and beverages.
