The Festive Favourites

The Festive Favourites is a package for Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, held in Hyde Park from 19 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. It combines entry with the Giant Wheel, Bar Ice, the Real Ice Slide and Ride and Game Credit.

Ticket overview:

🎟️ Entry to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland on the chosen date, within a chosen one-hour entry slot
🎡 A flight of about 10 minutes on the 70-metre Giant Wheel, with fast-track entry at any time on the booked date
🍸 A 20-minute session at a set time in Bar Ice, the bar sculpted from ice, with one drink and gloves
🛷 Two runs down the Real Ice Slide in the Arctic Circle, at any time during the visit
🎠 Ride and Game Credit to spend at any ride or game stall on site
📅 Valid any day of the season except 25 December, with entry until 21:30 and closing at 22:00

Entry is valid only for the booked date and one-hour entry slot, and visitors must enter within that slot; arriving outside it does not guarantee entry. Slot start times run up to 20:00, and the 20:00 slot runs to 21:30, which is also last entry. Once inside, visitors can stay until closing at 22:00, but there is no re-entry once the ticket has been scanned.

The package is a fixed bundle set by the organiser: its elements cannot be swapped, and the times of any attraction with a set session cannot be changed. One package ticket per person is scanned at each included attraction, alongside the entry ticket. Packages are sold online only and are not available at the event.

Bar Ice is kept at minus 10°C, and guests should arrive 20 minutes before their session. The included drink can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Nobody aged 12 or under is admitted to Bar Ice after 19:00, and anyone aged 17 or under must be with an adult aged 18 or over. Giant Wheel pods hold up to six people and may be shared at busy times, and pushchairs, prams and large items such as big cuddly toys cannot be taken on board. Riders on the Real Ice Slide must be at least 90 cm tall, and it is the only attraction that is not wheelchair accessible.

Ride and Game Credit can be spent at any ride or game stall on site and is valid only together with a valid entry ticket; any credit left over can be used on a later visit during the 2026/27 season.

Every visitor needs a ticket, whatever their age. Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, and the lead booker must be over 18.

Every bag is searched at every gate, so checks can slow entry at busy times. Only handbags or small rucksacks up to A4 size are allowed; suitcases, scooters and bikes are not permitted, and there is no left-luggage facility or general cloakroom. Prohibited items include glass, own alcohol, open drinks (sealed water is accepted), chairs and stools, drones, fireworks, knives, lasers and selfie sticks or tripods, and fancy dress is not allowed. Outside food is not allowed, except baby food or medically required food.

The ticket is non-refundable. Once purchased, the date and time cannot be changed.

Address: Hyde Park, London.

Closest landmark: Hyde Park Corner, about 600 metres (5 minutes' walk) from Blue Gate.

Hyde Park is one of London's eight Royal Parks, and its grounds also hold the Serpentine, Speakers' Corner and the Diana Memorial Fountain.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland has been held in Hyde Park since 2007, when it began as an open-air Christmas market with a few funfair rides, the Ice Rink and the Giant Wheel. The park covers 350 acres, and money raised from the event is reinvested in the Royal Parks. The site has four entrance gates: Red Gate to the east, Blue Gate to the south, Green Gate to the west and Gold Gate to the north, each with a signposted accessible queuing lane.

The Giant Wheel stands in Thrillville, closest to Red Gate, while Bar Ice and the Real Ice Slide are in the Arctic Circle, closest to Gold Gate.
