About
York’s favourite festive event is back! Presented by HARIBO, Yorkshire’s Winter Wonderland, with its glistening outdoor ice rink, thrilling funfair, magical Santa’s Grotto and cosy alpine cafe, opens at York Designer Outlet on Friday 15th November 2024, offering a fun-filled winter experience for all ages until Sunday 5th January 2025.
With a 30ft high sparkling Christmas tree topped with HARIBO’s Goldbear as its centrepiece, the ice rink is the largest in the North of England, and is surrounded by illuminated trees, the rink-side cafe and a viewing platform, creating the perfect festive setting.
The funfair has something for everyone – a Waltzer and Twister for the thrill-seekers, vintage Dodgems for all the family, as well as children’s rides and game stalls offering a prize every time.
The Chalet café offers winter-warming food and a licensed bar, while the terrace is an ideal spot to enjoy a hot chocolate and witness all the thrills and spills of skating! Try our new outdoor German Grill - it’s sure to tickle the taste buds!
Enjoy a snowy woodland walk and a glittering light tunnel to find Santa in his Grotto where a warm welcome and a special gift awaits.
For a festive retail experience our boutique Christmas market has 12 cabins offering gifts with a difference, while York Designer Outlet is the perfect place to tackle your Christmas shopping!
