“The safety of our visitors and staff are our top priority and we are sorry for any disappointment caused. All affected ticket holders have been contacted directly and will have the opportunity to reschedule or refund their tickets. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland will be open until 5th January 2024 and there is currently plenty of availability throughout the rest of the event.

“With better weather forecast on Sunday, we anticipate operating as normal and look forward to welcoming you. Please keep an eye on our official channels for further updates.”
