At York Designer Outlet

Yorkshire’s Winter Wonderland is an exciting new event based on the outskirts of the beautiful City of York.

Incorporating The Ice Factor, York’s award-winning ice rink, an authentic British fun fair, traditional Christmas market and Santa’s grotto, Yorkshire’s Winter Wonderland will be sure to get you in the festive mood with its stunning theatrical lighting and picturesque setting.

19 traditional wooden chalets will provide a wide range of seasonal gift ideas for everyone including; handcrafted toys, jewellery, Christmas cards and festive decorations.

The Ice Factor is one of York’s favourite Christmas attractions and becomes the centrepiece for this new event.  Now in its seventh year, the 900sqm real ice rink is turned into a winter wonderland village, with decorative cabins surrounding the rink, an illuminated forest with reindeer, and a 30ft giant Christmas tree in the centre of the rink.

And to enhance the visitor experience, an authentic fun fair will sit alongside the market offering rides for all ages, including a chairoplane, children’s rides and games stalls.

Food and drink will be offered throughout the day at the rinkside Ice Bar and Café, offering a range of hot and cold food using locally sourced produce, and a large choice of wines, spirits, beers, soft drinks and winter warmers such as mulled wine, Sloe Gin or hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream!

Yorkshire’s Winter Wonderland also offers the chance for children to meet Santa Claus in his grotto.  The grotto will be open every weekend from 3^rd December and then daily from 17^th December until 24^th December.
