When is Hyde Park Winter Wonderland 2026?

The gates open on Thursday 19 November 2026 and the whole thing wraps up on Sunday 3 January 2027. Every visitor needs a timed entry ticket, with entry slots running every hour. Once you're in, there's no time limit on how long you can stay.

How much are Hyde Park Winter Wonderland tickets?

This is the bit worth paying attention to. Book online and all Monday-to-Thursday entry in November costs just £1. Beyond that, advance entry is tiered: £1 off-peak, £5.50 standard and £8.25 peak. New for 2026, the price you see is the price you pay – booking fees are baked in, so no nasty surprise at checkout.

Spend £25 on activities in advance and the entry fee is waived altogether. You'll need to book by midnight the day before to get the advance rate; walk-up prices are higher. Klarna payment is available on orders over £50.

What's new at Winter Wonderland 2026?

Christmas by Candlelight concerts

A first for Winter Wonderland: six sing-along concerts from 5 to 23 December, staged in an immersive candlelit arena. A West End cast and live band will run through the festive standards – think White Christmas, Let It Snow! and O Holy Night. Tickets are on sale now.

The Magical Ice Kingdom presents Neverland

The walk-through ice sculpture attraction gets a Peter Pan makeover, in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. Step through the Jolly Roger into a frozen Neverland carved from over 500 tonnes of ice and snow, with Peter, Wendy and a lurking Captain Hook. A donation from every ticket goes to GOSH Charity.

Gandey's K-Pop Dragon Circus

Making its London debut exclusively at Winter Wonderland, this family-friendly circus show from Gandey World Class Productions mashes up K-Pop energy with world-class circus skills, telling the story of a young dragon through acrobatics, comedy and a loud, bright soundtrack.

VIP Tour Experience

New for 2026, an 80-minute guided tour for small groups with fast-track entry, a walkthrough of the Neverland ice kingdom, queue-skipping on three rides, a head-to-head fairground game (with tips to win), cloakroom access and £30 of ride and game credit to spend afterwards.

What else is on?

All the big-hitters are back: the 70-metre Giant Wheel, the five-loop Munich Looping coaster, the sub-zero Bar Ice, the Real Ice Slide, The XXL and the UK's largest open-air ice rink around the Victorian Bandstand. Families get Santa Land, home to London's largest free Santa's Grotto, elf workshops and fun-size rides, while the Bavarian Village does live music, DJs and German food and drink, and the Christmas Market handles the gift shopping.
