Santa brings Winter Funland to London for the very first time.
Today, Santa Claus swapped his sleigh for public transport as he arrived at Kensington Olympia, he was joined by a troupe of Christmas circus performers and festive elves to mark the inaugural launch of Winter Funland, what will beEurope’s largest indoor Christmas attraction.
London’s Christmas calendar is getting a glow-up as Winter Funland, Europe’s largest indoor Christmas extravaganza, brings its festive magic to the capital for the very first time, having delighted families in Manchester and Birmingham for years. From 12 December 2025 – 04 January, the iconic Olympia London will be transformed into a sparkling winter playground expected to welcome over 100,000 visitors.
Winter Funland will be reimagining Olympia London’s grand halls as a Christmas wonderland for all ages. From the early 20th century, the Olympia was renowned for its annual circus shows and fairground spectacles, once the capital’s yuletide entertainment hub. That same seasonal spirit returns this year with a dazzling circus show, contemporary funfair rides and a giant ice rink
One of the things that makes Winter Funland truly special is that it’s completely all-inclusive. Once inside, every visitor can enjoy unlimited access to all the rides, ice skating sessions and the dazzling Christmas circus at no extra cost. Families can simply arrive, soak up the atmosphere and make the most of three and a half hours of non-stop festive fun, offering an affordable warm indoor alternative to Hyde Park.
With a dedicated festive food court, Christmas bar, and even special late-night sessions including a New Year’s Eve party featuring a live DJ, Winter Funland’s London edition promises something for everyone.
Simon, Event Director said: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing Winter Funland to London for the very first time. After years of success in Manchester and Birmingham, it feels fantastic to be expanding to the capital. Olympia has such a rich history of festive entertainment, and we can’t wait to fill its grand halls with Christmas magic once again”
Gareth Lloyd, Business Development Director at Olympia Events, said: “We’re thrilled to host Winter Funland for its inaugural year in London and add this fantastic, family-friendly event to our strong line-up of Christmas events celebrated at Olympia each year. Our central location, excellent transport links, and state-of-the-art facilities make Olympia the perfect home for large-scale seasonal experiences like this.
