Yorkshire’s Winter Wonderland at the York Designer Outlet
York’s favourite festive event is celebrating its 20th anniversary! 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 14th November 2025, offering a fun-filled winter experience for all ages until Sunday 4th January 2026.
With a 30ft high sparkling Christmas tree 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 up close! And the outdoor German Grill is sure to tickle the taste buds.
Follow the snowy woodland walk and glittering light tunnel to Santa’s Grotto where a warm welcome and special gift awaits.
And of course, York Designer Outlet is the perfect place to tackle your Christmas shopping!
