If you’re making a list (and checking it twice) of everything you want to do in London this Christmas, here’s a brand-new attraction that you won’t want to miss out on. Following success in Birmingham and Manchester in previous years, the Winter Funland Christmas funfair experience is coming to London for the first time. And they’re promising a dazzling festive day out.
Plopping down in Olympia on December 13Winter Funland will bring to life Olympia’s history as a go-to spot for Christmas celebrations. The site used to host Christmas circus shows and fairground spectacles in the early 1900s, and Winter Funland is reviving the tradition.
There’s no need to worry about London’s notoriously fickle weather when you plan a day out at Winter Funland. That’s because the whole experience is tucked away indoors. But don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s a small affair. It’s set to be “one of the biggest indoor Christmas family extravaganzas in Europe”. Visitors can expect everything from a giant ice rink to a dazzling circus show, and over 20 funfair rides.
The best part? It’s all included in your ticket. Priced at £37 per person (or £145 for a family of four), tickets for the 3.5 hour experience include all of the entertainment, shows, and rides. And if you were paying for each experience individually, that could cost up to £155 per person! Catch a ride on the rollercoaster, or get to bumping on the dodgems – all without any extra charge.
You’ll also find a Festive Food Court and a Christmas-themed bar at Winter Funland. These cater to all dietary requirements, with vegan, halal, and gluten-free options. (But obviously you’ll need to pay to imbibe!)
The fun doesn’t stop when Christmas is over, either. Winter Funland is also planning late-night sessions, including a special New Year’s Eve party for young adults.
📍 Winter Funland London is open from December 13 – January 4, at Olympia, Hammersmith Road, W14 8UX. The nearest station is Kensington (Olympia).
