Winter Wonderland 2022: How to get tickets for the London Hyde Park Ice Rink, session times, skate hire

Winter Wonderland is returning to Hyde Park for its 15th anniversary this year, and of course, the famous ice rink is too. The Ice Rink is arguably one of the event’s most popular attractions, and for good reason as it is the largest open-air ice rink in the UK.

Set around the charming Victorian bandstand in Hyde Park, the Ice Rink creates the perfect setting for any festive outing. It can be enjoyed by friends, couples, colleagues, and families - with penguin skating aids available to support the little ones.

Set under a canopy of twinkly lights and built around the iconic Victorian bandstand, Winter Wonderland visitors can hit the ice from 10am to 10pm daily. For the second year running, the Winter Wonderland Ice Rink is sponsored by Lidl.

Come rain or shine Lidl will be there serving up their award-winning Deluxe pigs in blankets with a festive sauce of your choice for just £3! All proceeds that are made will be donated to Lidl’s charity partner Neighbourly. Download the Lidl Plus app before arriving to experience the heated undercover viewing platform before taking to the ice.
