A Magical Winter Wonderland in the North East🎅
Rainton Arena throughout the festive season!
Last updated 4th Dec 2019
A whole host of seasonal fun will take over Rainton Arena, at Houghton-le-Spring, when the Winter Wonderland opened on Friday 29th November, including the largest real ice rink in the area and the opportunity to meet Santa himself!
Elsewhere at the festival, which is free to attend and open to the public now, visitors can browse an authentic German market, see live reindeer, enjoy a large fairground, make a Christmas wreath or warm up by the fire pits in the après ski tipi bar.
There will also be a packed programme of entertainment at the tipis across the three weeks, including a Christmas film screened every morning at 10:30am
The Winter Wonderland takes place from 10am to 10pm until 23 December and is free to attend, but there is an additional cost for ice skating, visiting Santa’s grotto and feeding the reindeer.
Skating sessions need to be pre-booked, with prices starting at £3 for under fours, £7 for four to 12-year-olds, £7.50 for 13 to 17-year-olds and £8.50 for 18s and over.
Admission to Santa’s Grotto is £10, which includes a ticket for a child and two additional guests, with each youngster receiving a gift.
